ObjectiveTo explore the curative effect of precise hepatectomy techniques in hepatolithus. MethodsTotally 132 patients underwent precise hepatectomy and 52 patients underwent irregular hepatectomy were retrospectively analyzed, and the intraoperative and postoperative indexes such as operation time, blood loss, postoperative complications, hospitalization time, clearance rate of calculus, and cost of hospitalization were analyzed. ResultsCompared with the patients in irregular hepatectomy group, although the operative time was longer in precise hepatectomy group 〔(364.6±57.8) min vs. (292.9±44.7) min, Plt;0.001〕, but the patients in precise hepatectomy group had less blood loss 〔(558.3±90.6) ml vs. (726.7±88.7) ml, Plt;0.001〕, less postoperative complications (11.4% vs. 23.1%，P=0.004 3), and higher clearance rate of calculus (89.4% vs. 73.1%, P=0.005 5). Thus, the patients in precise hepatectomy group had shorter hospital stay 〔(22.9±4.4) d vs. (28.8±3.5) d, Plt;0.001〕 and less cost of hospitalization 〔(1.8±0.7)×104 yuan vs. (2.1±0.9)×104 yuan, P=0.016 5〕. Conclusion Precise hepatectomy is better than irregular hepatectomy in treatment for hepatolithus.
Objective To evaluate the clinical value of ureteroscope in cholelithiasis treated by laparoscopic surgery. Methods The clinical data of 36 patients admitted because of hepatolithus with ureteroscope combination in laparoscopic surgery from February 2007 to September 2009 in Guidong People’s Hospital of Guangxi were analyzed retrospectively. Results In 33 cases, stones were removed once by ureteroscope in laparoscopic surgery with residual stones (in 3 cases residual stone were removed secondarily through T tube) and the other 3 cases were transferred to laparotomy forcedly due to bleeding of biliary duct and vessels of porta hepatis and tearing of bile duct. During operation, blood loss was 30-280 (94.51±54.70) ml; operation time was 110-260 (147.22±48.45) min; recovery time of bowel movement was 1-3 (2.03±0.76) d; postoperative hospitalization time was 6-13 (7.12±1.65) d (some discharged with T tube); the time of patients of T tubes pulled out was 28-45 (38.92±6.52) d. Bile leakage happened in 1 case and infection of biliary tract in 1 case, no complications such as biliary stricture or bile duct bleeding were found after operation. Conclusions Treatment of intrahepatic bile duct or a single extra-hepatic sand-like stones with ureteroscopy usage in laparoscopic surgery is feasible and less invasive. It is a minimally invasive treatment for intra- or extra-hepatic stones due to rapidly postoperative rehabilitation.
ObjectiveTo discuss the clinical effects of T-tube with side holes in the gallbladder-common hepatic duct anastomosis. MethodsThe clinical data of 60 cases that performed gallbladder-common hepatic duct anastomosis from Jul. 2009 to Jul. 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. The contractile functions and mucosal recovery of gallbladder were compared between the conventional T-tube and T-tube with side holes. ResultsTwenty-four cases of gallbladder-common hepatic duct anastomosis used conventional T-tube, the gallbladder were not developing in 6-8 weeks after operation by T-tube cholangiography, the gallbladder mucosa of 17 cases were normal without edema, congestion and edema were observed in 6 cases, and the normal gallbladder mucosa structure disappeared in 1 case. The gallbladder were developing in 6-8 weeks after operation by T-tube cholangiography in 36 cases that used T-tube with side holes, the gallbladder mucosa structure had not congestion, edema, and erosion. The gallbladder contractile function were normal. ConclusionsThe floc, blood clots, and inflammatory substances in gallbladder can be discharged into the intestine or drainage in vitro, and the bile can go into gallbladder and can be concentrated through the T-tube with side holes. Physiological flow of bile can return to normal and the function of gallbladder can recover early.
