ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the effective therapeutic methods for hepatolithiasis.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical material of 89 hepatolithiasis patients who underwent surgical therapy.Among the 89 patients,53 patients were treated with T-tube drainage(including 3 patients with left hepatic lobe or quadrate lobe resection),and 36 patients were treated with bile duct-intestinal anastomosis(including 6 patients with left hepatic lobe or quadrate lobe resection).Results Recurrence rate of postoperative angiocholitis in the two groups was 50.0% and 22.2% respectively,and the reoperation rate was 28.0% and 8.3% respectively.Conclusion The key to prevent recurrent angiocholitis and reduce the reoperation rate is to relieve biliary tract stricture,remove the focus of infection and provide unobstructed bile duct drainage.
