Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of different operative position on laparoscopic splenectomy with splenic pedicle ligation. Methods Laparoscopic splenectomy with splenic pedicle ligation of 73 cases clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. The advantages, disadvantages and influence on laparoscopic splenectomy with splenic pedicle ligation of supine straddle position, right recumbent position and completely right lateral position were compared. Results Supine straddle position 22 cases, right recumbent position 27 cases, completely right lateral position 24 cases. The operation time of adopting right recumbent position and completely right lateral position was significantly shorter than that adopting supine straddle position (P < 0.05). The amount of intraoperative bleeding and hospitalization time were decreased gradually in the three groups of supine straddle position, completely right lateral position and right recumbent position, but no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusions Splenic pedicle ligation is a good method to deal with splenic pedicle in laparoscopic splenectomy. Supine straddle position, right recumbent position and completely right lateral position on laparoscopic splenectomy, these three operative positions have their advantages and disadvantages, right recumbent position can meet requirements for most laparoscopic splenectomy and exposure, completely right lateral position is more convenient for laparoscopic resection of large volume of spleen than the other operative position. It is the key that grasp the indications, master the advantages and disadvantages of the three operative positions.
