Combined laparoscopic and endoscopic surgeries effectively treat multiple abdominal conditions simultaneously. This approach offers benefits of minimal access surgery without significantly increasing patient morbidity or hospital stay.

Area of Science:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Gastrointestinal Surgery
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Advancements in minimal access surgery enable combined laparoscopic procedures for coexisting abdominal pathologies.
  • Simultaneous surgical treatment reduces the need for multiple interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility and outcomes of combined laparoscopic/endoscopic procedures for managing concomitant abdominal pathologies.
  • To compare intraoperative outcomes of combined procedures with single laparoscopic procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 145 combined surgical procedures (laparoscopic/endoscopic and open/endoscopic) performed between January 1999 and December 2002.
  • Comparison group included 40 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy and 40 undergoing ventral hernia repair.

  • Data collected included operative time, hospital stay, postoperative pain, and complications.

    • Main Results:

    • All 145 combined procedures were successful, with laparoscopic cholecystectomy combined with another endoscopic procedure being the most common (129 patients).
    • Mean operative time was 100 minutes (range 30-280 minutes), and mean hospital stay was 3.2 days (range 1-21 days).
    • Postoperative complications included fever (5 patients), port site hematoma (7 patients), wound sepsis (5 patients), and urinary retention (10 patients).

    Conclusions:

    • Combined minimal access surgery is feasible for simultaneous management of two coexisting pathologies.
    • This approach offers advantages without significant addition to postoperative morbidity and hospital stay.
    • Adherence to surgical principles and indications ensures successful outcomes for combined procedures.
