Evaluating Trainee Performance and Surgical Safety: A Comparison of Supine and Left Lateral Positioning in Pediatric Laparoscopic Appendectomy.
Background: Laparoscopic appendectomy is the preferred treatment for acute appendicitis, offering reduced morbidity and quicker recovery compared with open surgery. The positioning of the patient during surgery can significantly impact both the ergonomics for the surgeon and the operational outcomes. This study compares the conventional supine positioning with an innovative left lateral decubitus approach for surgical efficiency and recovery outcomes. Methods: This prospective, comparative study included 30 pediatric patients undergoing interval appendectomy at the Department of Pediatric Surgery, from October 2023 to March 2024. Patients were randomly assigned to undergo appendectomy either in the traditional supine position (Group A) or a modified left lateral position (Group B). The study measured operative times, complication rates, and surgical outcomes using the modified Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS). Results: The study consisted of 15 patients in each group, with comparable demographics and baseline characteristics. Group B showed a significant reduction in mean operating time (55.25 ± 3.62 minutes) compared with Group A (62.45 ± 4.15 minutes) (P < .001). There were fewer complications in Group B, with no serosal tears reported compared with a 15.3% incidence in Group A. The modified OSATS scores were higher in Group B, indicating better flow of operation and overall performance. Conclusion: The left lateral positioning in pediatric laparoscopic appendectomy demonstrated a potential to enhance surgical efficiency, reduce operative time, and minimize complications compared with the traditional supine approach. These findings suggest that the left lateral position could be considered a preferable alternative in pediatric appendectomy, particularly beneficial for surgical trainees due to improved ergonomics.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques (JLAST) is the leading international peer-reviewed journal for practicing surgeons who want to keep up with the latest thinking and advanced surgical technologies in laparoscopy, endoscopy, NOTES, and robotics. The Journal is ideally suited to surgeons who are early adopters of new technology and techniques. Recognizing that many new technologies and techniques have significant overlap with several surgical specialties, JLAST is the first journal to focus on these topics both in general and pediatric surgery, and includes other surgical subspecialties such as: urology, gynecologic surgery, thoracic surgery, and more.
