Abstract

Aim

To compare the open and closed methods of creating pneumoperitoneum for doing various laparoscopic procedures in terms of their safety, operating time and other parameters.

Settings and design

A prospective randomized double blind study.

Materials and methods

This was a randomized controlled prospective study conducted at Department of General and minimal access surgery, MMIMSR Medical College, Ambala Haryana from August 2013 to December 2015. Pneumoperitoneum was created by closed technique in group A, and by open technique in group B. Time required for successful pneumoperitoneum was calculated in each group. Failure to induce pneumoperitoneum was determined for each technique. Time required to induce pneumoperitoneum, total operating time, air leakage and injuries sustained during induction of pneumoperitoneum were compared in both techniques.

Result

Out of the total 200 patients included in study, 100 were in group A and 100 in group B. Mean time required for successful pneumoperitoneum was 9.17 minutes in group A and 8.11 minutes in group B. Total operating time ranged from 55 minutes to 130 minutes in group A and from 45 to 110 minutes in group B. Mean of total operating time was 78.34 and 67 minutes in groups A and B respectively. Mean time needed to close the wound was 9.88 minutes in group A and 4.97 minutes in group B. Failure of technique was noted in three patients in group A while no failure was experienced in group B. Air leakage was seen in five patients in group B and none in group B. In two cases in group A minor complications during creation of pneumoperitoneum were observed while in group B no complication occurred. Port site infection and port site hernia was seen in group B and none in group A. No patient died in the study. Two patients were having preperitoneal insufflation which was presented as injury due to induction of pneumoperitoneum.

Conclusion

We concluded from this study that open technique of pneumoperitoneum was, less time consuming and safer than the closed technique.
