ObjectiveTo analyze risk and therapy strategy of tiny gallbladder stones during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).MethodThe clinical data of 932 patients with tiny gallbladder stones performed LC from September 2013 to July 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe LC was successful in all the patients. The gallbladders were ruptured in 86 (9.23%) patients during operation. Following up 1-3 months, there were 26 patients with right upper abdominal pain and with residual small stones in the abdominal cavity, 57 patients without uncomfortable symptoms and without residual gallstone, 2 cases complicated with lesser abdominal abscess, 1 case complicated with incision infection. The incisional hernia and acute pancreatitis were not found.ConclusionsThe gallbladder with full of tiny stones performed LC easily leads to choledocholithiasis or acute pancreatitis. If intraoperative gallbladder rupture, the tiny stones might be residual in the peritoneal cavity and lead to abdominal infection or abscess, and incision infection or trocar site hernia. Specific operation could effectively avoid adverse complications.
【 Abstract 】 Objective To investigate the cause, management and prevention of biliary fistula with un-typical after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods Twenty-one cases of biliary fistula with un-typical after LC were reviewed retrospectively. Results All patients displayed with un-typical expression and had no obvious signs of peritonitis. Lump of right upper quadrant (6 cases) ， vague pain of epigastric zone (11 cases) ， abdominal distention (3 cases) and bowel obstruction (1 case) after operation were main manifestations. Abdominal paracentesis (14 cases) ， bile exuded from incisional opening of trocar (6 cases) and exploratory laparotomy (1 caes) were the methods of final diagnosis. The cause of biliary fistula included cystic stump fistula (2 cases) ， aberrant bile-duct fistula (9 cases) ， and accessory hepatic duct fistula (4 cases). Laparoscopic approach and puncturation and drainage under ultrasound were the main therapeutic methods. All patiens were discharged successfully with no death case. Nineteen cases were followed up for 3 months to 2 years, and all patients recovered very well. Conclusion The biliary fistula with un-typical after LC is scarce ， and it can lead to missed diagnosis and treatment. Strengthening recognition of biliary fistula after LC ， and paying attention to chief complaint and abdominal sign can help discover biliary fistula early. Laparoscopic approach and puncturation under ultrasound are the recommended therapeutic methods.
