HISTORY

• A CANDLE IN THE DARKNESS• Abulkasim (936-1013) – used reflected light to

examine the cervix

• Kelling (1901) – introduced “koelioskopie” by examining the peritoneal cavity (canine) with a cystoscope (platinum wire light source)

• Jacobaeus (1910) – reported the use of “laparothorakoskopie” in humans

HISTORY

• “PROGRESS” CONTINUES• Bernheim (1911) – introduced laparoscopy

(proctoscope) to the USA, 2 case histories, Annals of Surgery

• Stone (1924) – reported the use of a nasopharyngoscope to perform “peritoneoscopy in his Topeka, Kansas office

HISTORY

• A. R. Stone (1925), England

• Advantages of celioscopy• Local anesthesia

• Short recovery period (1-2 days)

• Special instruments not needed

• Can be performed at the patients home

• An option when laparotomy is too dangerous

HISTORY

• MID 20TH CENTURY• CO2 insufflation

• Veress needle

• Trocars

• Specialized instrumentation

• Rod-lens optics, fiber optic light source

THE MODERN ERA

• Computer chip video camera• Improved visualization• Made the use of assistants possible

• Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy• Mouret (1987) Lyon, France• McKernan and Saye (1987) USA

• “Big Bang” expansion of utilization in all areas of Surgery, including Trauma

CAVITARY ENDOSCOPY IN TRAUMA

• LAPAROSCOPY• Diagnostic

• Therapeuric

• THORACOSCOPY• Diagnostic

• Therapeutic

LAPAROSCOPY IN TRAUMA

• ABDOMINAL DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION• Physical Examination• Paracentesis• DPL• Sonography (EFAST)• Computed Tomography• LAPAROSCOPY

• Adjunct

TRAUMA LAPAROSCOPY

• RATIONALE• Improve/Streamline Care

• Decrease Cost, Decrease Length of Stay

• Rule Out Significant Injury

• Determine the Need for Laparotomy

• ? Therapeutic Laparoscopy ?

TRAUMA LAPAROSCOPY

• PATIENT SELECTION• ~ 15 % of patients with penetrating abdominal

trauma are candidates

• Rarely indicated in blunt trauma

• Hemodynamic stability

• Thoracoabdominal wounds

• Tangential wounds

• Stab wounds > GSW

TRAUMA LAPAROSCOPY

• GOAL: • DECREASE UNNESSARY

LAPAROTOMY• Rule out peritoneal penetration• Rule out diaphragmatic injury• ? Inspection of individual organs (colon, small

bowel, liver, spleen, etc.) ?• Therapeutic laparoscopic intervention

TRAUMA LAPAROSCOPY

• OPERATIVE TECHNIQUE• Standard videoscopic set; 30 degree scope

• Nasogastric, bladder deompression

• Periumbilical trocar 1st; additional ports as needed

• CO2 insufflation: 8-10 mm Hg > 15 mm Hg• Beware tension pneumothorax, hypotension, gas

embolism

• EARLY EXPERIENCE: BLUNT• Sherwood 1980• Berci 1983• Cuschieri 1988• Wood 1988• Nagy 1989• Fabian 1993 • Smith 1993

BLUNT TRAUMA

• Berci et al. Am J Surg 146: 26, 1983• Blunt Trauma Victims (n=106)

• Minilaparoscopy in ED (5 mm)

• Local anesthesia + sedation

• Conclusions• More specific than DPL

• Advocated wider use in trauma

BLUNT INJURY• INDICATIONS FOR LAPAROSCOPY

• No Clear Indications in Blunt Trauma !!

• ? Evaluation and treatment of solid organ injury• NO ! Better options!

• ? Directed blood salvage for autotransfusion• No proven benefit

• ? Evaluation and treatment for bowel injury: “seatbelt sign”

• Maybe ?

THERAPEUTIC LAPAROSCOPY

• REPORTED:

• Repair of Diaphragmatic Laceration

• Closure of Gastrotomy / Enterotomy

• Cholecystectomy

• Hepatorrhaphy (minor injury)

• Splenorrhaphy

DO NOT DO THIS !

• Omori et al. J of Laparoendosc 13: 83, 2003• Laparoscopy for isolated bowel injury

• Historical laparotomy controls

• 11 / 13 injuries successfully treated with laparoscopy

• Age, gender, ISS, operative times, complications, LOS, mortality: No statistical difference between groups

• Blood loss less in laparoscopy group. p = .0084

• Choi et al. Surg Endosc 17: 421, 2003

• Hemodynamically stable - n=78

• Injury suspected by CT

• Blunt n=52, SW n=26

• Therapeutic n=65• Small bowel, stomach, colon, mesentery,GB,

pancreas, spleen

• Matthews et al. Surg Endosc 17: 254, 2003

• Attempted laparoscopic repair of acute (n=8) or chronic (n=9) diaphragmatic herniae

• Laparoscopic repair n=13• Conversion to open: Acute (n=2)

• Conversion to open: Chronic (n=2)

• Conversion to open: Long (>10 cm) or Hiatus tears

TRAUMA LAPAROSCOPY

• POTENTIAL COMPLICATIONS• Tension pneumothorax

• Gas embolism

• Trocar injuries

• Missed injury

• Delay of laparotomy ( improper patient selection)

TRAUMA LAPAROSCOPY

• SUMMARY• Carefully selected, stable patients

• Most useful with thoracoabdominal or tangential penetrating wounds

• Low threshold to convert to laparotomy

• ??? Utility in blunt trauma

• Limited, but real, therapeutic potential

EARLY TRAUMA THORACOSCOPY

• Jones et al. Emergency Thoracoscopy. J Trauma 1981; 21: 280-4• 36 patients with traumatic hemothorax

• ED, local anesthetic, not intubated

• Rigid proctoscope

• Diathermy of intercostal artery (n=2)

• Altered management in 44 %

THORACOSCOPY IN TRAUMA

• POTENTIAL INDICATIONS:• Evaluation of the Diaphragm

• Evacuation of Clotted Hemothorax

• Assessment of Hemothorax (persistent bleeding)

• Pericardial / Mediastinal Assessment

• DELAYED DIAGNOSIS OF DIAPHRAGMATIC INJURY• Miller et al J Trauma 1984

• Beal et al J Trauma 1984

• Feliciano et al J Trauma 1989

• Madden et al J Trauma 1989

INJURY OF THE DIAPHRAGM

• Madden et al J Trauma 29: 292, 1989• 95 patients with penetrating thoracoabdominal

injury

• Treated with mandatory laparotomy

• 18/95 patients had diaphragmatic injury

• Isolated diaphragmatic injury in 5/95

MISSED DIAPHRAGMATIC INJURY

• Common in thoracoabdominal injury

• Nonoperative diagnostic adjuncts ( PE, DPL, FAST, CT) unreliable

• ~ 20 % of missed injuries will result in strangulation of hollow viscera

• Strangulation: Mortality in 30 – 40 %

RETAINED HEMOTHORAX

• Helling et al J Trauma 1989• Patients who required tube thoracostomy for

hemothorax

• 18 % developed retained hemothrax

• 6 % required thoracotomy to prevent fibrothorax (> 33 % of hemothorax)

POST-TRAUMATIC EMPYEMA

Patterson et al J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1968

Military setting (Viet Nam): 6 %

Millikan et al Am J Surg 1980

Civilian setting: 2 %

• Ochsner et al J Trauma 1993; 34:704 – 710

• Evaluated 14 patients with suspected diaphragmatic injury

• Thoracoscopy followed by thoracotomy

• Correlation: 100 %

• Wong et al Surg Endosc 1996; 10: 118-121• 41 hemodynamically stable patients with

thoracic injury• 3/6 intercostal artery injuries successfully

coagulated• 7/9 diaphragmatic injuries repaired• 13/14 clotted hemothoraces successfully

evacuated• 1 aortic injury excluded

• Ben-Nun et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2007; 83-383• Thoracoscopy (n=37) vs Thoracotomy (n=40)

• Non randomized, retrospective, selection bias

• Thoracoscopy group• Less postoperative pain

• Shorter return to normal activity

• 81% had normal lifestyle after 2 years (vs 60% after thoracotomy)

• Patients more satisfied with results

• Smith et al. J Trauma 2011; 71: 102• VATS by acute care surgeons

• Blunt thoracic injury (n = 83)• Retained hemothorax (n = 61)

• Empyema (n = 15)

• Persistent airleak (n = 8)

• VATS performed < 5 days less frequently converted to thoracotomy (8% vs. 29%, p<0.05) and shorter LOS (11 vs 18 days, p<0.05

• Milanchi et al. J Minim Access Surg 2009; 5:63• 23 stable patients at Cedars-Sinai from 200-2007

• 25 procedures, no mortality

• Indications• Retained hemothorax (n = 14)

• Decortication (n=2)

• Removal of foreighn body (n=2)

• Lobectomy (n=1)

• Pricardial window (n=1)
