Pulmonary Function Following Laparoscopic or Conventional Colorectal Resection

Abstract: Background: Laparotomy causes a significant reduction of pulmonary function, and atelectasis and pneumonia occur after elective conventional colorectal resections.Objective: To evaluate the hypothesis that pulmonary function is less restricted after laparoscopic than after conventional colorectal resection.Design: A randomized clinical trial.Setting: The surgical department of an academic medical center.Patients: Sixty patients underwent laparoscopic (n = 30) or conventional (n = 30) resection of colorectal tu… Show more

“…As expected based on the literature, a postoperative restrictive respiratory deficit, characterized by proportional reductions in FEV 1 and FVC values with relative preservation of the FEV 1 /FVC ratio, 4,[10][11][12]14,22 was observed for all patients in the current investigation. Vital capacity was reduced by approximately 35% on POD 1 for both groups, with no significant improvement noted by POD 5.…”

“…These concerns were alleviated by the fact that the suppression of pulmonary function was of no greater magnitude for patients in the binder group than for those in the no binder group or than that reported elsewhere. 4,10,11,14 Anaesthesia Duration of anaesthesia has previously been demonstrated, in a multivariate-analysis study, to be an important risk factor for the development of PPCs following general elective surgery; 45 specifically, the mean duration of anaesthesia was longer for those with PPCs (480 min) than for those without (309 min). Patients in this study's control group (no binder) underwent anaesthesia for a significantly longer time (p < 0.05).…”

“…Pulmonary function is better preserved when cholecystectomy and colectomy are performed laparoscopically as compared with the open approach[3,4,5]. Therefore it can be hypothesized that postoperative pulmonary complications are lower when the abdominal stage of open transthoracic esophagectomy is performed laparoscopically.…”

“…In einer Vielzahl randomisierter Studien konnte gezeigt werden, dass im Vergleich zur konventionellen Technik die laparoskopische Sigmaresektion mit weniger Schmerzen und einem geringerem Schmerzmittelverbrauch [1,2], einer geringeren Beeinträchtigung der Lungenfunktion [3], einer verkürzten post- [8]. Die drei Säulen dieses so genannten «Fast-track»-Konzepts sind die thorakale epidurale Analgesie, der rasche orale Kostaufbau sowie eine forcierte Mobilisation der Patienten bereits am 1. postoperativen Tag.…”
