ABSTRACT
Objective To summarize the etiology,classification and clinical characteristics of congenital bile duct dilatation and our experience in its diagnosis and troatment.Methods The clinical data of 37 cases of congenital bile duct dilatation were retrospectively analyzed.Results The 37 cases included TypeⅠin 31 cases,Type Ⅱ in 1 case,Type Ⅳ in 4 cases,and Type Ⅴ in 1case.All of the patients underwent operative treatment.External drainage of was done in 2 cases,Roux-en-y cystojejunostomy in 3 cases,exeisison of cyst cyst and Roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy in 31 cases and left hepatectomy in 1case with malignant change of cyst.Five cases had postoperative complications that recovered with non-operative treatment.Thirty-two cases were cured.There were no operative deaths.Conclusions Congenital bile duct dilatation should be treated as soon as possible.Excision of the cyst and Roux-en-y hepaticojejunostomy can reduce long-term postoperative complications and is the rational treatment for congenital bile duct dilatation.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore a new way of treating refractory residual gallstones by endoscopy. Methods Choledochfiberscope(CHF) combined with air pressure ballistic lithoclast(APBL) under ureterscopy were used on 28 cases of large or impacted residual gallstones. Results All refractory stones were crushed and extracted completely in 1-3 times, including sufficient once in 16, twice in 10 and thrice in 2. No severe complications were occurred in this series. Conclusions This procedure is a safe, effective, simplicity, less complication and no heat injury methods. It is proved to be a new way of treating refractory residual gallstones, especially for large or impacted lithiasis. It is worthy for clinical application widely in the future.
