Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery

Background:

  • Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) presents challenges for patients with cardiopulmonary disease.
  • Standard LC techniques may compromise surgical field visibility in these patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel two-bar lifting method for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
  • To assess the suitability of this technique for patients with cardiopulmonary compromise.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an original lifting bar system using bent stainless steel rods.
  • Application of two lifting bars to enhance the surgical field during LC.
  • Performance of LC on numerous cardiopulmonary-compromised patients.

Main Results:

  • 250 successful LCs performed since 1994 using the two-bar method with good outcomes.
  • No severe complications reported with the two-bar LC technique.
  • Only two cases required conversion to open surgery.

Conclusions:

  • The two-bar lifting method effectively elevates the liver via traction to the teres ligament.
  • This technique provides a suitable surgical field for manipulating the liver's inferior surface.
  • The described lifting method is well-suited for cardiopulmonary-compromised patients undergoing LC.
