Not counting the patient who had recently been operated on with conventional surgery, the four patients who underwent laparoscopies are part of the beginning of an experience in our institution. Although we did not find any reductions in lengths of hospital stays or surgery time, it was evident that postoperative pain was reduced and patients were able to begin oral intake sooner. Also, there was no need for blood transfusions during or after the procedures.
Los 4 pacientes intervenidos por laparoscopia son parte del inicio de la experiencia en nuestra institución, aparte de uno que se intervino en forma convencional por cirugía previa reciente; aunque no encontramos una disminución objetiva del tiempo de hospitalización y tiempo quirúrgico, fue evidente el menor dolor postoperatorio, la ingesta oral temprana, no hubo necesidad de transfusiones sanguíneas trans o postoperatorias.
