Introduction: The technique of closing the appendiceal stump using linear titanium stapler clips is being used more and more frequently in laparoscopic surgery, despite the good practice in the use of resorbable single endoloop vicryl ligatures and/or the non-resorbable plastic hem-o-lok clips. No light has been shed on potential undesirable effects on the haemathological profile of the use of titanium stapler clips. This experimental study aimed at establishing any possible undesirable effect of linear titanium stapler clips and single resorbable vicryl endoloop ligatures on the blood cells in rats following appendectomy. Methods: A total of 70 adult rats were used, divided into a control group (n = 10), and two experimental groups (n = 30 + 30). The appendices were removed from the rats in the first experimental group using titanium stapler clips and in the second experimental group the appendiceal stump using resorbable endoloop vicryl ligatures was closed. In both experimental groups three sub-groups with ten animals each were formed, from which peripheral blood from a tail vein on days 7, 28 and 60 was removed postoperatively, in order to assess the usual haematological parameters. Stained blood smears were also analysed in order to establish any poikilocytotic erythrocytes present. Results: In the first experimental group, with the titanium stapler clips, more than 25 % neutrophils were found on day 7, which is a significantly different result (p < 0.05) to the control group. In the second experimental group, there were more neutrophils than in the titanium stapler clips group, especially on days 7 and 60 and the results of these two sub-groups differ statistically significantly, p < 0.05. Hypochromia was found in the endoloop vicryl ligatures group, as well as in the titanium stapler clips sub-group on day 28, due to lower haemoglobin values which were significantly different to the control group, p < 0.05. Moderate levels of annulocytes, spherocytes and stomatocytes were found in most experimental groups. Conclusion: The results of this study favour the use of linear titanium stapler clips over resorbable single endoloop vicryl ligatures, because a less unfavourable effect was established on the blood cells of the experimental rats with their use.

Background and Objectives: Titanium DS clips are made to secure the appendiceal stump during laparoscopic appendectomy. The assumption is that they behave like stapler clips in the body, being made from titanium. However, the construction and weight of DS clips differs from staplers. Their biocompatibility may have implications for their clinical use. Methods: One hundred and twenty rats were randomized into four experimental groups: in the first group the appendiceal stump was secured by Vicryl® ligature, in the second by linear staplers, in the third by Hem-o-lok® plastic clips, and in the fourth by DS titanium clips. Ten animals from each group were sacrificed 7, 28, and 60 days post-surgery. Histopathological data and adhesion formation were assessed. Results: On postoperative day 7, a statistically significant difference was found in the occurrence of inflammation between the Hem-o-lok® and stapler groups. The adhesion score was significantly higher in the Vycril® and Hem-o-lok® in comparison to the DS and stapler groups. On postoperative day 28, a statistically significant difference was found in the occurrence of inflammation between the Vycril® and stapler groups. The adhesion score was significantly higher in the Vycril® than in the DS and stapler groups. On postoperative day 60, there were no statistical differences between any of the groups. The adhesion score was significantly higher in the Hem-o-lok® group in comparison to the DS and stapler groups. Conclusion: Staplers and DS clips have advantages over other methods of securing the appendiceal stump, because of their high biocompatibility and lower adhesion score.

In contrast to classical appendectomy where the appendiceal stump is secured by a single or double ligature, in laparoscopic appendectomy various ways of securing the stump are mentioned. Each of these methods has advantages and disadvantages. Since different possibilities exist for closing the stump, it is very important to find the optimum method for closure of the appendiceal stump, bearing in mind their simplicity, biocompatibility and price. The aim of this review article has been to present the problem of securing the base of the appendix during laparoscopic appendectomy.

Ileus is common after colorectal surgery and is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications. Identifying features of normal bowel recovery and the appropriateness for hospital discharge is challenging. This study explored the safety of hospital discharge before the return of bowel function.

Abstract Objective The Lichtenstein mesh technique is recommended as the standard surgical procedure for inguinal hernias. Shouldice is the best non-mesh technique. However, there are reports that the transinguinal preperitoneal technique (TIPP), which uses a preperitoneal mesh, has potential advantages in relation to the Lichtenstein and the Shouldice techniques. Patients and methods Three hundred patients with inguinal hernias were randomized into three groups of hundred patients each: Group 1 whose inguinal hernia repair was performed using the Lichtenstein technique; Group 2 using the Shouldice technique; and Group 3 using TIPP. The parameters for monitoring were: length of operation, blood loss, length of hospitalization, length of incision, post-operative pain, and the patient's satisfaction level. Results The visual analog scale (VAS) score after 6, 12, 24 and 48 h, and 14 d was lower in TIPP than the Lichtenstein and Shouldice groups (p < .0001). The satisfaction level was higher in TIPP than in the Lichtenstein and Shouldice groups (p < .0001). Conclusions TIPP technique has advantages in comparison with the Lichtenstein and Shouldice techniques. This method takes a shorter time, the skin incision is smaller, the VAS score is lower and the patient satisfaction level is higher. These advantages are in balance with the higher costs of this procedure.

Introduction: In this study we wanted to examine the hormonal responses due to stress exposure during laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standard (12-15 mm / Hg) (LCSP) and low (6-8 mm / Hg) (LCLP) intraabdominal pressure and open cholecystectomy (OC), with particular emphasis on stress hormone responses. Aim: Determination of adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol stress hormones before and after laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standard and low insufflation pressure, determination of ACTH and cortisol values before and after open cholecystectomy and comparison of ACTH and cortisol values between the patient sub-groups. Methods: In a prospective study conducted between July 2016 and February 2018, we involved 110 patients which were divided into two groups: 70 patients with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) and 40 patients with open cholecystectomy (OC). The first group of patients was further divided into two subgroups of 35 patients, (subgroup LC with standard and subgroup LC with low intraabdominal pressure). All patients met the preset inclusion and exclusion criteria of the study. There were no statistically significant differences in the demographic characteristics of patients between the investigated groups. The stress hormones determined were adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and cortisol. Results: During the first, second and seventh day postoperative day (POD),ACTH values were significantly lower (p <0.0001) in LCLP than in LCSP and OC groups. This was also the case for comparison in LCSP and OC groups. By comparing LC and OC groups during first, the second and seventh POD, there was a significant difference (p <0.0001) in the ACTH levels. The concentration of this hormone was higher in the OC group in all three cases. The first, second and seventh POD were also statistically significant (p <0.0001) in cortisol values and between LC and OC groups there was an increase in cortisol levels in patients operated by open method. There was also a significant difference (p <0.0001) in cortisol values measured between LCLP and LCSP groups in the investigated days. Cortisol levels were higher in patients in the LCSP group. Conclusion: During open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy the response of the body to stress increased. The stress response of the organism during laparoscopic cholecystectomy was less than during open cholecystectomy. The stress response of the organism during laparoscopic cholecystectomy with low insufflation pressure ( 6-8mmHg) was less than during laparoscopic cholecystectomy with standard insufflation pressure (12-15mmHg).

BACKGROUND Laparoscopic surgery causes less pain than traditional surgery; however, to relieve postoperative pain, surgeons frequently apply local anesthetic preemptively. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of different local anesthetics on pain intensity in patients who had undergone a laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), who received the anesthetic preemptively at incision sites and postemptively, intraperitoneally and trocar sites. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 120 LA patients (men and women) were randomly assigned to 1 of the 4 groups (N = 30/group): Group 1: no peritoneal or local administration of local anesthetics during LA; Group 2: 5 mL of 1% lidocaine was applied at incision sites and 10 mL 1% lidocaine was injected under direct vision in the right iliac fossa area and around the stump of the appendix and trocar sites at the end of the procedure; Group 3: 5 mL of 0.5% levobupivacaine applied at incision sites +10 mL 0.5% levobupivacaine injected in the same place intraperitoneally and trocar sites at the end of the procedure; Group 4: 5 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine at incision sites +10 mL 0.5% ropivacaine injected in the same place intraperitoneally and trocar sites at the end of the procedure. Postoperative pain was assessed after 2, 6, 24, and 48 hours using a visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULTS By comparing the average values of pain intensity using VAS, we observed significantly different average values of pain intensity in the levobupivacaine and ropivacaine (3 and 4) groups in comparison with the control Group 1 (P < .05) throughout the follow-up period. CONCLUSION We observed a reduction in postoperative pain, nausea, and vomiting in patients with LA who received intraoperative local anesthetic preemptively at the incision sites and postemptively, intraperitoneally. After the application of levobupivacaine the intensity of pain was significantly lower than in any other tested group.

The optimal bowel preparation strategy to minimise the risk of anastomotic leak is yet to be determined. This study aimed to determine whether oral antibiotics combined with mechanical bowel preparation (MBP+Abx) was associated with a reduced risk of anastomotic leak when compared to mechanical bowel preparation alone (MBP) or no bowel preparation (NBP).

Laparoscopy has now been implemented as a standard of care for elective colonic resection around the world. During the adoption period, studies showed that conversion may be detrimental to patients, with poorer outcomes than both laparoscopic completed or planned open surgery. The primary aim of this study was to determine whether laparoscopic conversion was associated with a higher major complication rate than planned open surgery in contemporary, international practice.
