Abstract
|
|
|
Purpose: In general, laparoscopic surgery has many advantages such as the improved cosmesis and the reduced pain, postoperative recovery and hospital stay. We evaluated the minimal invasive technique for the treatment of radiologically irreducible intussusceptions.
Methods: From January 1997 to April of 2007, the medical records of patients who underwent operation due to radiologically irreducible intussusceptions were reviewed. Age, gender, body weight, clinical symptoms, duration of symptoms, operation time, time to pass flatus, day of starting an oral diet, length of the hospital stay and complications were compared between the conventional surgery group and the laparoscopic group.
Results: 86 cases were enrolled in this study. 9 patients (10.5%) underwent laparoscopic surgery and 86 patients (89.5%) underwent conventional surgery. There were no differences between the two groups in terms of age, gender, body weight, duration of symptoms, clinical symptoms, operative time and the surgical morbidity. Postoperative flatus passing, starting the postoperative diet and the length of the hospital stay were significantly reduced in the laparoscopic group.
Conclusion: The laparoscopic approach is one of the effective treatments for radiologically irreducible intussusceptions. (J Korean Surg Soc 2008;74:126-128)
