摘要
Background: Previous abdominal surgery has been reported as a relative contraindication to laparoscopic cholecystectomy. This study specifically examined the effect of previous intraabdominal surgery on the feasibility and safety of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: Data from 1,638 consecutive patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reviewed and analyzed for open conversion rates, operative times, intra- and postoperative complications, and hospital stay. Results: Of the 1,638 study patients 473 (28.9%) had undergone previous abdominal surgery: 58 upper and 415 lower abdominal operations. The 262 patients who had undergone only a previous appendectomy were excluded from further analysis. Adhesions were found in 70.7%, 58.8% and 2.1% of patients respectively, who had previous upper, lower or no previous abdominal surgery with adhesiolysis required, respectively, in 78%, 30% and 0% of these cases. There were no complications directly attributable to adhesiolysis. Patients with previous upper abdominal surgery had a longer operating time (66.4 +/- 34.2 min), a higher open conversion rate (19%), a higher incidence of postoperative wound infection (5.2%), and a longer postoperative stay (3.4 +/- 2.1 days) than those who had undergone previous lower abdominal surgery (50.8 +/- 24 min, 3.3%, 0.7%, and 2.6 +/- 1.4 days, respectively) and those without prior abdominal surgery (47.4 +/- 25.6 min, 5.4%, 1.2%, and 2.8 +/- 1.9 days, respectively). Conclusions: Previous abdominal operations, even in the upper abdomen, are not a contraindication to safe laparoscopic cholecystectomy. However, previous upper abdominal surgery is associated with an increased need for adhesiolysis, a higher open conversion rate, a prolonged operating time, an increased incidence of postoperative wound infection, and a longer postoperative stay.
