Has experience any affect on reducing of complications in laparoscopic urologic surgery?
Abstract
Objective: To compare the results of the first and second 60 patients undergoing laparoscopic urologic surgery and to assess the factors associated with complications.
Material and Methods: We evaluated retrospectively a total of 120 laparascopic urologic procedures performed between November 2011 and January 2016. The first 60 patients were called as group A and the second 60 patients as group B. Perioperative complications were evaluated by Satava, and postoperative complications by Clavien classification system. Two groups compared regarding age, the ASA score, duration of operation, number of port, duration of drain and urethral cateter placement, hospitalisation and complications.
Results: The mean age of the group A was 39.4±20.2 years and group B was 34.8±20.7 years, and there was no statistical difference in mean age between the two groups (p=0.222). Twenty (33.3%) complications were seen in group A and nine (15%) in group B. This difference was statistically significant (p=0.019). The ASA score of the patients were similar in both groups (p=0.711). There was no differences between the two groups regarding number of port, duration of operation, drain and urethral cateter placement and hospitalisation.
Conclusions: Complications is reduced
with experience, so less experienced urologist
should select appropriate patient and less difficult procedures in their initial experience with
laparoscopy. We think that, urologist should
perform difficult procedures after gaining experience due to it may reduce complication rate
