Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyA comparison of sevoflurane-fentanyl and neuroleptic anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy of mildly obese patients.
The current study was formulated to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of sevoflurane-fentanyl and neuroleptic anaesthesia for laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery of mildly obese patients. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed using either sevoflurane-fentanyl or neuroleptic anaesthesia. Intra-operative haemodynamic stability, surgical duration, awakening time, severity of post-operative pain and hormonal stress parameters (serum and urinary cortisol, serum insulinlike growth factor and serum insulin) were determined. ⋯ The serum and urinary cortisol concentrations were significantly increased in post-operative patients that received neuroleptic anaesthesia whereas the insulin-like growth factor-I concentration in both study groups significantly decreased post-operatively. Our results clearly show that neuroleptic anaesthesia attenuates the stress response to laparoscopic cholecystectomy to a lesser extent than sevoflurane-fentanyl. The latter anaesthesia is recommended for laparoscopic cholecystectomy of mildly obese patients.

Comparative Study[Pancreaticoduodenectomy with or without pylorus preservation: a retrospective analysis of 137 patients].
We performed a retrospective study to assess the postoperative results, long-term survival and quality of life after pylorus preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) versus standard Whipple pancreaticoduodenectomy (WPD). ⋯ PPPD and WPD were associated with comparable results, but, there is a tendency of increase rate of postoperative morbidity and mortality for PPPD patients. We also noted that postoperative quality of life is the same for both procedures.
