Area of Science:

  • Gynecological Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Surgical Techniques

Background:

  • Traditional laparoscopy often involves insufflating the abdominal cavity with gas, which can lead to complications.
  • These complications include subcutaneous emphysema, mediastinal pneumatoma, hypercarbia, and cardiopulmonary dysfunction.
  • Alternative methods are sought to improve patient safety and surgical outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of gasless laparoscopy in treating gynecological conditions.
  • To assess a novel lifting technique for abdominal wall exposure.
  • To compare outcomes with conventional laparoscopic surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A gasless laparoscopy technique utilizing Kirschner wire lifting of the abdominal wall was employed.

  • Procedures were performed under epidural anesthesia using standard surgical instruments.
  • Temporarily low-pressure pneumolaparoscopy was used for dissecting dense pelvic adhesions.

    • Main Results:

    • All procedures were completed without organ injury, hematoma, or other complications.
    • The method provided a clear view of the operative field.
    • Mean operative times were 60 minutes for appendectomy and 80 minutes for laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy.

    Conclusions:

    • Gasless laparoscopy effectively avoids complications associated with routine laparoscopy.
    • The described lifting method is simple, convenient, and cost-effective.
    • This technique offers a flexible and safe approach for gynecological surgeries.
