Immediate efficacy of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single site surgery assisted modified transanal Soave pull-through for Hirschspung's disease
Objective To evaluate the immediate efficacy of transumbilical laparoendoscopic single-site surgery(TU-LESS)for Hirschsprung's disease(HSCR)with oblique mucosectomy and anastomosis with a short split muscular cuff.Methods From January 2014 to December 2019,the relevant clinical data were retrospectively reviewed for 163 HSCR children.According to specific surgical approaches,they were divided into two groups of TU-LESS with oblique mucosectomy and anastomosis with a short split muscular cuff(TU-LESS group)and conventional laparoscopy preserving traditional muscle cuff(CLS group).Operative duration,volume of intraoperative hemorrhage,postoperative hospitalization stay,recovery time of digestive function,perioperative complications and postoperative SCAR were compared between two groups.Results All operations were successfully completed.Three patients in CLS group were converted into open surgery while umbilical incision of 2 cases was expanded in TU-LESS group.The incidence rates of postoperative enterocolitis,anastomotic stenosis and the scores of SCAR(Scar Cosmesis Assessment and Rating)scale were lower in TU-LESS group than those in CLS group(P<0.05).No inter-group differences existed in other observation parameters(P>0.05).Conclusion TU-LESS with oblique mucosectomy and anastomosis with a short split muscular cuff is both safe and efficacious for HSCR.And cosmetic effect is better than that of conventional laparoscopy and there is a lower incidence of anastomotic stenosis and enterocolitis.
