[Clinical study on combined multi-disciplinary laparoscopic surgery].
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the clinic characteristics and efficacy of combined multi-disciplinary laparoscopic surgery.


METHODS
Combined laparoscopic surgery was performed in 46 gynecological patients who concomitantly had gastrointestinal and urinary tract diseases as study group, and single gynecologic laparoscopic surgery in 40 patients as control group. The complications and mean time of operations, bowel function restoration, and hospitalization length were observed.


RESULTS
The surgery of every patient was successful. None of the cases was transferred to open laparotomy. No complications occurred. The mean time of operations was significantly increased in study group (127 +/- 91) min compared with control group (100 +/- 80) min (P < 0.05). The recovery time of bowel function, as well as the mean time of hospitalization was not different between study group (20 +/- 10) h, (3.7 +/- 1.5) d and control group (19 +/- 10) h, (3.5 +/- 1.3) d (both P > 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
Combined multi-disciplinary laparoscopic surgery can be performed safely and effectively for gynecological patients complicated with gastrointestinal or urinary tract diseases.
