ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Open surgery has been the traditional approach for Median Arcuate Ligament Syndrome (MALS) management. However, there has been a recent rise in laparoscopic management for MALS. In this study we used a large-scale database to compare perioperative complications between open and laparoscopic approaches for MALS.METHODS:
Using the National Inpatient Sampling database, we identified all patients surgically treated for MALS between 2008 and 2018 through conventional open and laparoscopic approaches. International Classification of Diseases (ICD)-9 and ICD-10 codes were used to identify patients and their specific surgical interventions. Statistical analyses were conducted to compare the perioperative complications between the 2 MALS surgical approaches, as well as and length of hospital stays and total charges. The complications include postoperative bleeding, accidental operative laceration/puncture, surgical wound infection, ileus, hemothorax/pneumothorax, and cardiac and respiratory complications.RESULTS:
A total of 630 patients were identified 487 (77.3%) patients underwent open surgery while 143 (22.7%) patients underwent laparoscopic decompression. The majority of the study population consisted of female patients (74.8%) with a mean age of 40.6 ± 19 years. Patients who underwent laparoscopic decompression had significantly less all-cause perioperative complications compared to their open surgery counterparts (0.7% vs. 9.9%; P = 0.001). Additionally, prolonged hospitalization was noted in the open group compared to the laparoscopic 1 (5.8 days vs. 3.5; P < 0.001, respectively) with a significantly higher mean of total hospital charges ($70,095.8 vs. 56,113.5; P = 0.016).CONCLUSIONS:
Laparoscopic management of MALS has significantly less perioperative complications than open surgical decompression with shorter hospitalization and lower total charges. Given that, laparoscopic technique could be a safe option in treating select MALS patients.
