Description
Summary:Applicability of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LSCE), a modern approach to the treatment of cholelithiasis, to rehabilitation, and military medical and military aviation certification was evaluated. Since 1994, 303 LSCE operations, including to 97 patients-aviators, have been performed by way of penetrating the abdominal wall with a standard laporoscopic stand (K-Chtorz, Germany). After introduction of LSCE, only 9 operations (2.9%) were fulfilled with the conventional technique. Immediate results of treatment of aviators were satisfactory and characterized by a good cosmetic effect, more rapid recovery of the motor activity, minimal complications (2.2%), absence of severe post-operational pancreatic/biliary dysfunctions, and expedited course of treatment.
