Tóm tắt

ABSTRACTObjectiveTo obtain consensus as to the optimal form of entry technique for access to the peritoneal cavity.DesignA meta‐analysis of all relevant English language studies of laparoscopic entry complications.Main outcome measuresIncidence of bowel and major vascular injuries.ResultsBowel injuries occur in 0.7/1000 and major vascular injuries in 0.4/1000. The overall incidence of major injuries at time of entry is 1.1/1000. The direct entry technique is associated with a significantly reduced major injury incidence of 0.5/1000, when compared to both open and Veress entry produces (1.1 and 0.9/1000 respectively, p = 0.0005). Entry‐related bowel injuries are reported more often following general surgical laparoscopies than with gynaecological procedures (p = 0.001). No such difference is seen in the incidence of vascular injuries (p = 0.987). Open entry is statistically more likely to be associated with bowel injury than either Veress needle or direct entry. However, open entry appears to minimize vascular injury at time of entry.ConclusionsThere remains no clear evidence as to the optimal form of laparoscopic entry in the low‐risk patient. However, direct entry may be an under‐utilised and safe alternative to the Veress needle and open entry technique.
