Continuous suture closure using a LapraTy® suture clips is an effective method for reconstruction of cystic duct stump after laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy.
Heliyon 2023 September
OBJECTIVE: Recently, number of laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (LSC) has been increasing.
SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: LSC is suitable as a treatment as it can avoid intraoperative bile duct injury and bleeding for difficult laparoscopic cholecystectomy. On the other hand, improper handling of remnant of GB can lead to postoperative bile leakage.
METHODS: Here, we report our positive experience utilizing new technique of continuous suture closure and omental covering using Lapra Ty® suture clips on the remnant of GB.
RESULTS: From January 2016 to July 2021, we experienced 30 cases of LSC for LC patients who had difficulty securing critical view of safety (CVS). In six of the 30 cases, we repaired remnant of GB using continuous suture closure and omental covering with Lapra Ty® suture clips. The median operating time was 136 min (range 112-199 ml), and amount of bleeding was 1 ml (range 1-100). There were no cases of postoperative bile leakage (postope. BL), remnant cystic duct stone, and abscess formation in abdomen.
CONCLUSION: we recommend this new suturing technique for closure of remnant of GB as it was very effective in preventing postope. BL after LSC.
