Feasibility of Laparoscopy as a diagnostic modality in bowel pathologies
Journal Title: International Archives of Integrated Medicine - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 6
Abstract
Background: As the laparoscopic management in bowel surgeries of abdomen grows as a tool in the armamentarium of the acute care surgeon, it is critical that outcomes are tracked to aid surgeons in making evidence-based decisions with regards to management of their patients. Aim: To study the feasibility of laparoscopy as a diagnostic modality and to assess the feasibility of laparoscopic intervention in various bowel pathologies in comparison to open surgery. To analyse the outcomes of laparoscopic surgery in compared to those treated by open surgery. Material and methods: A total 110 cases (Females 45% and Male 55%) of different Intestinal Pathologies from November 2013 to November 2015 were considered. For laparoscopy 80 Therapeutic cases and 30 diagnostic cases were included. All the cases were undergone for routine blood and urine investigation, ECG, X-ray, USG abdomen and Barium meal. Results: The commonest intestinal pathology in our study was acute Appendicitis (23.6%). Majority of the cases were seen in the age group of 26-40 years (40%). The mean operative time for laparoscopic appendectomy was 23 minutes and 25 minutes in open approach. Conclusion: Laparoscopy is safe and effective in the treatment of Bowels of abdomen. Tertiary centers with adequate minimally invasive skills should establish laparoscopy as the primary surgical technique in the treatment of this condition.
