Abstract
INTRODUCTION
Two decades ago, single-incision surgery was established as a new concept in minimally invasive surgery. Single incision cholecystectomy is the most frequently performed procedure in clinical routine. Most of the results have been based on randomised trials. Large prospective multicentre observational datasets from clinical routine do not exist. This analysis of clinical health service research is based on the SILAP study (single-incision multiport/single port laparoscopic abdominal surgery study).
PATIENTS AND METHODS
The data of the register were collected in 47 hospitals in the period of 2012 to 2014. Overall morbidity and mortality were the primary outcome. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were performed. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05.
RESULTS
Data from 975 patients in clinical routine with single incision cholecystectomy were collected. Intraoperative complications were recorded in 3.2% of cases. Bile duct injuries were registered in 0.1% of cases. Postoperative complications were detected in 3.7% of cases. The mortality rate was 0.2%.The median operating time dropped from 60.0 to 51.5 min (p < 0.001) during the study. The use of an extra trocar was necessary in 10.3% of cases. Conversion to open surgery was performed in 0.7% of cases. Body mass index (p = 0.024), male gender (p = 0.012) and operating time (p < 0.001) had a significant effect on intraoperative complications in multivariate analysis. Classification of ASA III (p = 0.001) and modification or conversion of single incision technique (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with postoperative complications.
CONCLUSION
The register analysis of the prospective multicentre data shows that single incision cholecystectomy is feasible in clinical routine even outside the selective criteria of randomised studies. The only limitation is a BMI > 30 kg/m2 which has a significant influence on the intraoperative rate of complications in mild adverse events.
