Objective To explore the treatment of a case of clonorchiasis with Budd-Chiari syndrome through multidisciplinary team (MDT) discussion. Methods A case of clonorchiasis with Budd-Chiari syndrome was treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in August 2021. We summarized the discussion of MDT and the process of diagnosis and treatment. Results The patient was admitted because of “more than 8 years after partial hepatectomy and more than 1 year of abdominal distension”. Eight years before admission, the patient underwent right hepatic trisegmentectomy and left hepaticojejunostomy due to a huge space occupying right liver. Postoperative pathological examination revealed multifocal necrosis with granulomatous reaction, and parasitic infection was considered. One year before admission, the patient began to have ascites, and the medical treatment was ineffective. The CT examination of the upper abdomen after admission showed hepatic segmental stenosis of the inferior vena cava, unclear display of the hepatic veins and a large amount of ascites. After MDT discussion, this patient underwent direct intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (DIPS) and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) , and the stent was unobstructed in the 9-month follow-up after discharge, and no recurrence of ascites was found. Conclusions DIPS combined with PTA can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of clonorchiasis with Budd-Chiari syndrome. Discussion through MDT mode can improve the effectiveness of treatment and obtain better prognosis.
ObjectiveTo investigate the advantage of superior mesenteric artery approach in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) combined with superior mesenteric vein (SMV)-portal vein (PV) resection and reconstruction. MethodThe operation process of a pancreatic head cancer patient with SMV-PV invasion admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University in April 2022 was summarized. ResultsThe resection and reconstruction of SMV-PV during the LPD through the right posterior approach and anterior approach of superior mesenteric artery was completed successfully. The operation time was 7.5 h, the intraoperative blood loss was 200 mL, and the SMV-PV resection and reconstruction time was 20 min. The patient was discharged with a better health condition on the 9th day after operation. ConclusionFrom the operation process of this patient, the arterial priority approache is a safe and effective approach in the resection and reconstruction of SMV-PV during the LPD.
ObjectiveTo explore the safety and feasibility of the uncinate-process-first superior mesenteric artery (SMA) right posterior approach in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD). MethodsThe clinical data of 5 patients admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from December 2022 to May 2023 were retrospectively analyzed, all patients underwent uncinate-process-first SMA right posterior approach during LPD. ResultsAll 5 cases of LPD with uncinate-process-first SMA right posterior approach were successfully completed. The operative time was (366±51) min, the intraoperative blood loss was (140±42) mL, and the postoperative hospital stay was (11±2) days. All the postoperative pathological findings reached R0 resection. None of the 5 patients suffered from biliary leakage, bleeding, or gastrointestinal empties, and 2 patients suffered from biochemical fistula, the postoperative follow-up time was (7±2) months, and there was no recurrence during the follow-up period. ConclusionThe uncinate-process-first SMA right posterior approach is a safe and feasible surgical approach, especially for tumors with no obvious vascular invasion and diameter ≤2 cm.
