Due to the current economic crisis in Greece, major cutbacks on healthcare costs have been imposed, resulting in a shortage of surgical supplies, including laparoscopic materials. In an attempt to reduce costs, we developed a homemade specimen retrieval bag for laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
We used the polyethylene bag containing the catheter of a Redon drainage set. The bag was cut in half and pleated longitudinally; then, the gallbladder was placed in the bag and removed through the umbilicus with a grasping forceps.
From September 2011 to June 2012, we used our homemade bag on 85 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. No rupture, accidental opening, or bile leak was observed. The learning curve was found to be five cases. Our homemade specimen retrieval bag seems to be a safe, effective, and easy tool for tissue extraction. Further studies need to be conducted to evaluate its full potential.
由于希腊当前的经济危机，医疗保健成本大幅削减，导致包括腹腔镜材料在内的手术用品短缺。为了降低成本，我们开发了一种用于腹腔镜胆囊切除术的自制标本回收袋。
我们使用了含有雷顿引流装置导管的聚乙烯袋。将袋子切成两半并纵向打褶；然后，将胆囊放入袋中，用抓钳通过脐部取出。
从2011年9月至2012年6月，我们在85例接受腹腔镜胆囊切除术的患者中使用了自制袋子。未观察到破裂、意外打开或胆汁渗漏。发现学习曲线为5例。我们的自制标本回收袋似乎是一种安全、有效且易于使用的组织提取工具。需要进行进一步研究以评估其全部潜力。
