A Randomized Trial to Compare the Conventional Three-Port Laparoscopic Appendectomy Procedure to Single-Incision and One-Puncture Procedure That Was Safe and Feasible, Even for Surgeons in Training.
Journal of Laparoendoscopic & Advanced Surgical Techniques. Part A 2018 November 11
BACKGROUND: Single-incision laparoscopic surgery has emerged; however, the procedures might be complicated for trainees. We compared the clinical outcomes of conventional three-port laparoscopic appendectomy (CLA) and single-incision and one-puncture laparoscopic appendectomy (SIOPLA) by attending pediatric surgeons (APSs) and surgeons in training (SITs).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed the clinical outcomes of 72 randomized laparoscopic appendectomies that were consecutively performed by SITs and APSs for a 2-year period. The cases were categorized according to type of surgeon. Finally, 10 CLA and 18 SIOPLA procedures were performed by SITs, and 24 CLA and 20 SIOPLA procedures were performed by APSs. The operative time, blood loss, analgesic use, complications, and hospital stay were analyzed.
RESULTS: There were no significant differences in any of the evaluation points between CLA and SIOPLA.
CONCLUSIONS: SIOPLA is not inferior operation to CLA, and the postoperative outcomes of SIOPLA were satisfactory. Thus, SIOPLA was safe and feasible for young surgeons to perform.
