Abstract

Transgastric endoscopic cholecystectomy was successfully accomplished in a 1-year-old, 15 kg, female, mongrel dog. Single-working channel flexible gastric endoscope was used with the aid of one abdominal laparoscopic port. Gastrotomy was performed using endoscopic needle knife at the ventral antral region. Through the gastric incision endoscope was advanced and retroflexed for the visualization of gallbladder. For the better exposure of surgical field, gentle traction was applied at the fundus of the gallbladder using laparoscopic grasping forceps. Cystic duct and artery was ligated using endoclips. After transecting the duct and artery, gallbladder was dissected using endoscopic coagulating grasping forceps and needle knife. Resected gallbladder was retrieved through the mouth and gastric incision site was sutured using endoclips. There was no evidence of bile leakage or stomach leakage on postoperative day (POD) 3. On POD 16, gastric endoscopy and laparoscopy was performed. Gastric endoscopy revealed complete adhesion of incision site. The content of the peritoneum appeared healthy, with no sign of infection, bile staining, or organ injury. The omentum was adhered over resected gallbladder fossa and the serosal surface of gastrotomy site. This is the first report of NOTES cholecystectomy in the dog and provides new concept of cholecystectomy of the dog.

1년령, 암컷, 15 kg의 잡종견에서 위내시경을 이용한 경위장관 담낭절제술을 최소한의 복강경 도움아래에서 성공적으로 수행하였다. 내시경용 바늘 절개도를 이용하여 배쪽 유문부에서 위절개를 실시하였다. 위절개부를 통하여 내시경을 복강내로 진입한 다음 뒤쪽으로 돌려서 담낭쪽 시야를 확보하였다. 술야의 확보를 위해 복강경용 겸자를 이용하여 담낭의 바닥부위를 부드럽게 들어올렸다. 담낭관과 동맥을 내시경용 endoclip을 이용하여 3중 결찰하였다. 담낭관과 동맥을 절단한 후 내시경용 소작겸자와 바늘 절개도를 이용하여 담낭을 간으로부터 분리하였다. 분리된 담낭은 내시경을 이용해 입을 통하여 제거하고, 위절개부위는 내시경용 endoclip을 이용하여 봉합하였다. 술후 3일째 방사선검사 및 혈청화학검사를 통해 위봉합부위의 천공이 없음과 담즙의 누출이 없음을 확인하였다. 술후 16일째 위내시경과 복강경 검사를 실시하였다. 위내시경검사 결과 봉합부위가 완전히 유합 되었음을 확인하였고 복강경 검사를 통해 담낭절제부위와 위절개부의 장막에 대망막이 유착되어있음을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 개에서 자연개구부 내시경수술(NOTES)을 이용한 담낭절제술의 최초 보고로써 새로운 방법에 의한 담낭절제술에 대한 가능성을 제시한다.
