Curative effect of laparoscopic surgery on acute gastric perforation

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the postoperative inflammatory reaction, stress reaction and immune response of laparoscopic surgery and laparotomy for acute gastric perforation. Methods: Forty-four patients with acute gastric perforation receiving emergency surgery in our hospital from May 2012 to December 2015 were selected and retrospectively analyzed. Among these patients, there were 19 patients treated with laparoscopic surgery (LS group) and 25 patients treated with laparotomy (laparotomy group). At the first day after surgery, their serums were collected and the indexes of inflammatory reaction and stress reaction were detected. Mononuclear cells and red blood cells in peripheral blood were collected and detected for the immune function indexes. >Results: At day 1 after surgery, the contents of serum interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-2, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, cortisol, norepinephrine, epinephrine, renin and angiotensin-II of patients in the LS group were all significantly lower than those of the laparotomy group; fluorescence intensities of CD3, CD4, CD16 and CD56 of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood were all obviously higher than those of the laparotomy group; and the numbers of red blood cell C3bR and immune complex resette and the fluorescence intensities of complement receptor type 3, CD58 and CD59 were obviously higher than those of the laparotomy group. >Conclusions: Emergency laparoscopic surgery used to treat acute gastric perforation shows slight postoperative inflammatory reaction and stress reaction and presents weak nonspecific immune response, specific immune response and erythrocyte immune response, which makes less trauma than laparotomy.
