ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effect of radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with transcatherter arterial chemo-embolization (TACE) and percaulaneous ethanol injection (PEI) for unresectable hepatic malignancies. Methods The clinical data of 41 cases of unresectable liver cancer(URLC)treated by RFA,TACE and PEI were analysed retrospectively. Results There were 30 cases of primary hepatic cancer(PHT) and 11 cases of secondary hepatic cancer in this series.Ultrasound,CT and MRI showed the tumors shrinking or stable in 26 of the 41 patients postoperatively.AFP decreased to normal in 12 cases of 16 AFP positive PHT patients after operation. No severe complication was seen in the series. Conclusions RFA combined with TACE and PEI is a safe, well-tolerated and effective method for unresectable hepatic carcinoma, and may improve the treatment efficacy of URLC.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the prevention and treatment of bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). Methods 22 cases of bile duct injury during LC were reviewed retrospectively. The features, diagnosis, treatment and efficacy of injury were summarized. Results All patients were successfully treated by Roux-en-Y cholangio-jejunostomy. Besides, 8 patients underwent plastic operation of bile duct of hepatic portal and 3 patients middle lobectomy of liver. 22 cases were followed up at the 1st and 3rd year after surgery, and no bile duct stricture, recurrence of jaundice and cholangitis occurred. Conclusions It's a key to prevent bile duct injury during LC. The management of bile duct injury should be chosen according to injured time, sites and types.
