Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management01:22

Aneurysm IV: Nursing Management

Vigilant monitoring for aneurysm rupture is essential for patients undergoing aortic surgery.Preoperative Nursing ManagementContinuously monitor the patient for manifestations of aneurysm rupture, such as pallor, weakness, tachycardia, hypotension, abdominal, back, groin, or periumbilical pain, changes in consciousness, and a pulsating abdominal mass. Regularly assess the patient's peripheral pulses.Instruct the patient to consume a clear liquid diet the day before surgery and administer...

Summary

Laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces peripheral nerve injuries (PNI) after thoracoabdominal procedures compared to open surgery. This finding highlights the benefits of minimally invasive techniques for preventing nerve damage and chronic pain.

Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Neurosurgery
  • Pain Management

Background:

  • Open thoracoabdominal surgery poses a risk of chronic pain from peripheral nerve injury (PNI).
  • The incidence of PNI following laparoscopic thoracoabdominal surgery is not well-established.
  • PNI can result from nerve transection, compression, or stretching during surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the incidence of PNI in patients undergoing open versus laparoscopic thoracoabdominal surgery.
  • To identify the types of PNI and their management following these surgical approaches.

Main Methods:

  • A systematic literature search was conducted across PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, and Scopus.
  • 28 peer-reviewed articles involving 871 patients were included in the analysis.
  • Data on patient demographics, surgical approach, PNI incidence, injury types, and treatments were extracted.

Main Results:

  • Laparoscopic surgery had a significantly lower PNI rate (5.2%) compared to open surgery (47.5%).
  • Common PNI types included neuromas (50.4%) and nerve enlargement (37.3%).
  • Surgical interventions for PNI were neurectomy (78.8%) and neuroma excision (19.4%).

Conclusions:

  • Laparoscopic thoracoabdominal surgery is associated with a substantially reduced risk of inadvertent peripheral nerve injury compared to open surgery.
  • The varied descriptions of PNI underscore a need for improved understanding, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
  • Minimally invasive approaches offer a promising avenue for mitigating surgical-related nerve damage.
