Our experience of the first 30 laparoscopic cases in Ordu University
Abstract
Aim: We aim to present the results of the
first laparoscopic surgeries at SB-ODU Education
and Research Hospital and to share our experience
from this process with clinics about to
begin laparoscopic procedures.
Material and Method: From January 2014
to September 2016, 30 cases undergoing the
first laparoscopic procedures at our clinic were
retrospectively investigated in terms of age, surgical
duration, amount of bleeding, drain duration,
hospital stay and complications. The laparoscopic
interventions were all completed with
the transabdominal method.
Results: A total of 30 patients underwent
laparoscopic procedures; 8 for nephrectomy,
3 for adrenalectomy, 10 for UPJ stenosis and
9 for renal cyst. The mean surgical duration
(mean±SD) was 149.3±42.1 minutes for nephrectomy,
190±45.8 minutes for adrenalectomy,
201±40.6 minutes for UPJ and 96.6±53
minutes for renal cyst. The procedure was completed
with open surgery for 4 (13.3%) patients.
No patient had vascular damage or organ injury.
No patient required blood transfusion in the
per-op period. Drains were removed in 2.6 ± 2.3
(1-14) days. The mean stay in hospital was 2.8 ±
1.0 (1-7) days.
Conclusion: Laparoscopic procedures are
commonly performed today and have replaced
open surgery for many surgical procedures.
However, it has a longer learning duration
compared to open surgery and requires greater
effort. We believe that laparoscopy is a viable
procedure for urologists with sufficient ambition
who have completed the required training
programs
