ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in patients with choledocholithiasis after Billroth Ⅱ gastrointestinal anastomosis.Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted to retrospective review the data of 189 patients with choledocholithiasis treated by ERCP from December 2015 to November 2017 in Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University.According to the history of Billroth Ⅱ gastrointestinal anastomosis,the patients who have not undergone digestive surgery were divided into the normal group(n =167) and patients who have undergone digestive surgery were divided into reconstruction group (n =22).The operation time,the success rate of stone extraction,complications,the hospitalization time,total hospitalization expenses were compared between the two groups.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as (Mean ± SD) and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Measurement data with skewed distribution were described as M (range).Comparisons of count data were analyzed using the x2 test or Fisher exact probability.Results The operation time of the normal group was (40.18 ± 11.80) min,and the success rate of ERCP was 97.60％ (163/167),the operation time of reconstruction group was(61.81 ± 13.21) min,and the success rate of ERCP was 81.82％ (18/22),There were significant differences between the two groups (t =0.105,x2 =10.400,P ＜ 0.05).The complications,the hospitalization time and the total hospitalization expense of the normal group were 16.17％ (27/167),(3.47 ± 1.55) d,(20 620.69 ± 3 117.88) yuan,the reconstruction group were 18.18％ (4/22),(4.18 ± 2.08) d,(22 426.41 ±5 916.30) yuan,with no statistically significant difference (x2 =0.000,t =4.204),t =10.828,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions ERCP is safe and feasible for patients with choledocholithiasis after Billroth Ⅱ gastrointestinal anastomosis.It also has a high success rate of stone removal and small trauma,which is worthy of promotion.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the use of endoscopic papillary balloon dilation in treatment of choledocholithiasis associated with peripapillary duodenal diverticulum.Methods From January 2017 to July 2018,a retrospective study was conducted on 124 patients with choledocholithiasis associated with peripapillary duodenal diverticula at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery,Second Hospital of Hebei Medical University.These patients were divided into the small endoscopic sphincterotomy combined with balloon dilation group (sEST+EPBD,n =60) and the simple papillary balloon dilation group (EPBD n =64).The operation time,one-time success rate of stone removal,complication and hospitalization stay were compared between the two groups of patients.Results The hospitalization expenses of the EPBD group was significantly less than the sEST+EPBD group (P＜0.05).The operation time of the EPBD group was significantly shorten than the sEST+EPBD group (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the one-time success rate of stone removal,complication rates and hospitalization stay between the two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusions Compared with sEST+EPBD,treatment of choledocholithiasis in patients with peripapillary duodenal diverticula using simple balloon dilation shortened the operation time,did not increase the complication rates and hospitalization stay.The procedure was safe and effective,and resulted in almost the same one-time success rate of stone removal.
