Pulmonary function in women: comparative analysis of conventional versus single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the pulmonary function of women submitted to conventional and single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. METHODS: forty women with symptomatic cholelithiasis, aged 18 to 70 years, participated in the study. We divided the patients into two groups: 21 patients underwent conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 19, single-port laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We assessed pulmonary function through forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), and the FEV1/FVC ratio, measured before and 24 hours after the procedure. RESULTS: in both groups, FVC and FEV1 were lower in the postoperative period than those obtained in the preoperative period, with a greater reduction in the group undergoing conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Regarding the FEV1/FVC (%) values, there was no statistically significant difference in any of the groups or times analyzed. CONCLUSION: there was a greater decline in FVC and FEV1 in the postoperative group of patients submitted to conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy.

RESUMO Objetivo: avaliar a função pulmonar, através da capacidade vital forçada (CVF) e volume expiratório forçado no primeiro segundo (VEF1), e a relação VEF1/CVF% de mulheres submetidas à colecistectomia laparoscópica convencional e por portal único, antes e 24 horas depois do procedimento. Métodos: quarenta mulheres com colelitíase sintomática, com idades entre 18 e 70 anos, participaram do estudo. As pacientes foram distribuídas em dois grupos: 21 pacientes foram submetidas à colecistectomia laparoscópica convencional e 19 à colecistectomia laparoscópica por portal único. Resultados: nos dois grupos submetidos aos procedimentos cirúrgicos os valores espirométricos da CVF e da VEF1 no pós-operatório foram inferiores aos valores obtidos no pré-operatório, com redução maior no grupo submetido à colecistectomia laparoscópica convencional. Quanto aos valores da VEF1/CVF (%) não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa em nenhum dos grupos ou tempos analisados. Conclusão: houve maior declínio na CVF e no VEF1 no pós-operatório do grupo de pacientes submetidas à colecistectomia laparoscópica convencional.

Esta investigación tuvo como objetivo analizar las características sociodemográficas y clínicas, tabaquismo, alcoholismo, práctica de ejercicios físicos de pacientes sometidos a colonoscopia, en el período de febrero a junio de 2012. Se ha observado que en los 84 pacientes entrevistados los síntomas de mayor prevalencia que llevaron a la indicación de la Colonoscopia fueron el dolor abdominal con 39 (46,4%). De los entrevistados cinco (6%) presentaron cáncer colorrectal (CCR), y la historia familiar de esta neoplasia fue relatada por 18 (21,4%) personas y la neoplasia en cuestión apareció en cinco (6%) de los encuestados, el tabaquismo estuvo presente en 17 (20,2%) de los pacientes y el consumo de bebida alcohólica fue negada por 26 (31%) de los entrevistados. En relación a la práctica de actividad física 71 (84,5%) de los pacientes eran insuficientemente activos (AU)

Verificou-se entre os 84 pacientes entrevistados o sintoma de maior prevalência que levou a indicação da Colonoscopia foi à dor abdominal 39 (46,4%). Ressalta-se a história familiar de neoplasia colorretal que apareceu em 18 (21,4%) dos pacientes e a neoplasia em questão apareceu em cinco (6%) dos entrevistados, a neoplasia o tabagismo esteve presente em 17 (20,2%) e o consumo de bebida alcoólica foi negada por 26 (31%) pacientes. Relacionado à prática de atividade física, 71 (84,5%) dos entrevistados são insuficientemente ativos

This research had the goal of analyzing the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics, food habits, smoking, alcoholism, practice of physical exercises and abdominal symptoms of patients submitted to colonoscopy during the period from february to June, 2012. It was observed that in the 84 patients interviewed the symptoms of higher prevalence that led to indication of colonoscopy were abdominal pain in 39 (46.4%). From the interviewed ones five (6%) presented CRC and familial history of this carcinoma was reported by 18 (21.4%) and neoplasm in question appeared in five (6%) of respondents, smoking was present in 17 (20.2%) of the patients and alcoholic beverage consumption was denied by 26 (31%) of the interviewed ones. Related to practice of physical exercises 71 (84.5%) of the patients were insufficiently active (AU)
