ABSTRACT
A retrospective study was conducted based on the clinical data of 15 choledocholith patients after Billroth-Ⅱgastroenterestomy who were treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) through colonoscopy or duodenoscopy.It showed that choledocholith removed by colonoscopy for patients with Billroth-Ⅱ gastroenterestomy can achieve comparable therapeutic effect,but this method can reduce the operation difficulty,shorten the operation time and significantly increase the success rate.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate a method named “one-step procedure”,i.e.,combined duode-noscopy,laparoscopy and choledochoscopy for choledocholithiasis accompanied with cholecystolithiasis.Meth-ods Fifty-three cases with gallbladder stones combined with common bile duct stones diagnosed from February 2012 to February 2014 were assigned to two groups,29 cases in “one-step procedure”group,who underwent duodenoscopy,laparoscopy and choledochoscopy in one operation,and 24 cases in the control group,who first-ly underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy to remove common bile duct stones,and then LC was performed after several days.The rate of complications related to the procedure,success rate of complete stone removal,length of hospital stay and hospitalization expenses were compared between the two groups.Results All 53 patients underwent the surgery and ERCP procedure successfully.There were no significant differences between the“one-step procedure”group and the control group in complication rates[3.4%(1 /29)VS 12.5%(3 /24),P =0.21],complete stone removal rates[96.6%(28 /29)VS 100.0%(24/24),P =0.37].Differences were sig-nificant in length of hospital stay (6.7 ±1.3d VS 10.9 ±1.6d,P <0.01 )and hospitalization expenses (15 724 ±1 613 yuan VS 19 829 ±2 433 yuan,P <0.05)between the “one-step procedure”group and the control group.Conclusion The “one-step procedure”,the combined duodenoscopy,laparoscopy and chole-dochoscopy,is safe,effective,and has smaller length of hospital stay and lower hospitalization expenses.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the correlation between anatomical structure and recurrence of common bile duct stones.Methods The clinical data of 195 patients with common bile duct stones were studied,including 37 patients with recurrent bile duct stones.The correlation between anatomical structure and the recurrence of common bile duct stones were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis.Results Univariate analysis revealed that history of cholecystectomy,choledocholithotomy,periampullar diverticu-lum,papilla hypertrophy or stenosis,intramural duodenal bile duct abnormalities,common bile duct stric-ture,choledochectasia and angulated common bile dust were risk factors of recurrence.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that past history of cholecystectomy,periampullary diverticulum,angulated com-mon bile dust,choledochectasia were independent risk factors for the recurrence of common bile duct stones. Conclusion Patients with anatomical structure of past cholecystectom,periampullary diverticulum,choledo-chectasia,angulated common bile dust are prone to recurrence of common bile duct stones.
ABSTRACT
Objective To study the clincial effectiveness and safety of endoscopic sphincteropapillotomy combined with balloon dilation for decompensated cirrhosis accompanied with choledocholithiasis.Methods Data of 79 cases of decompensated cirrhosis patients with choledocholithiasis who underwent limited endoscopic sphincterotomy plus endoscopic papillary balloon dilation (ESBD,the ESBD group) and 42 cases who underwent endoscopic papillary balloon dilation(EPBD,the EPBD group)were retrospectively analysed and compared for complete stone clearance rate,one-time stone clearance rate and complications.Results The rate of complete stone clearance and one-time stone clearance were 94.9％ (75/79) and 77.2％ (61/79)in ESBD group,and those were 88.1％ (37/42) and 59.5％ (25/42) in EPBD group respectively.The rate of complete stone clearance was a little higher in ESBD group than that in EPBD group.In ESBD group,ERCP-related bleeding occurred in 3 patients (3.8％),post-ERCP hyperamylasemia in 3 (3.8％)and post-ERCP pancreatitis in 2 (2.5％) ; while in EPBD group,post-ERCP hyperamylasemia occurred in 8 patients(19.0％),post-ERCP pancreatitis in 6(14.3％) and ERCP-related bleeding did not occur.There were no significant difference in ERCP-related bleeding between ESBD group and EPBD group (P =0.551).However,the rates of post-ERCP pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia in ESBD group were significantly lower than those in EPBD group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion ESBD is a safe and effective procedure for choledocholithiasis accompanied by decompensated cirrhosis,with several advantages over EPBD in terms of higher one-time stone clearance rate,reduced risk of post-ERCP pancreatitis and hyperamylasemia,and without noticeable increase in the risk of bleeding related to ERCP.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare common bile duct pressure changes after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration between primary closure of the bile duct and T-tube drainage.Methods Postoperative common bile duct pressure changes were analyzed in 30 cases of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration,including 15 cases of primary suture of the bile duct and 15 cases of T-tube biliary drainage respectively,from August 2003 to January 2004 in this hospital.Results ①The hydrostatic pressure in common bile duct was 6.0~18.5 cm H_2O(0.54~1.66 kPa).②As compared with preoperative levels,the common bile duct pressure increased slightly on the first postoperative day and decreased significantly on the fifth postoperative day in primary suture cases(q=4.531,P
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of laparoscopic and open operation combined with endoscopic nasobiliary drainage(ENBD) in the management of choledocholith. Methods 44 cases treated by laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) and 34 ones by open common bile duct exploration(OCBDE) combined with ENBD and primary suture of common bile duct were retrospectively analyzed from January 1997 to July 2001. Results All cases were operated on successfully. The clearance rate of stones was 100%(78/78). No postoperative complications such as bile leakage, hemobilia, cholangitis, etc occurred. Postoperative hospital stay was (6 2?1 3)days in group LCBDE and (7 4?2 1)days in group OCBDE. 57 cases had been followed up for (1～4 5)years with an average of 2 6 years, and ultrasoundgraphy showed no bile duct stricture and recurrent stones. Conclusions LCBDE or OCBDE combined with ENBD and primary suture of common bile duct is safe and reliable.
