Four-stitch cholangiojejunostomy / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application efficacy of four-stitch cholangiojejunostomy.Methods:Of 38 patients who received four-needle biliary and enterointestinal anastomosis in the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery, Yuebei People's Hospital Affiliated to Shantou University Medical College from November 2016 to April 2020 were included, and the diseases, surgical methods and postoperative complications of four-needle biliary and enterointestinal anastomosis were analyzed.Results:There were 26 males and 12 females with an average of 57.3(44-77) years. Among 38 patients, there were 12 hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients, 10 pancreatic head cancer, 9 duodenal papillary cancer, 4 intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct stones, 1 pancreatic cystic adenoma, 1 gastric cancer invading pancreatic head and 1 gallbladder carcinoma. The procedure included pancreatoduodenectomy in 20, radical resection of hilar cholangiocarcinoma in 12, hepatectomy with biliary-enteric anastomosis in 4, radical resection of gastric cancer combined with pancreaticoduodenectomy in 1, radical resection of gallbladder carcinoma in 1. One, two and three ductal openings were anastomosed in 27, 7 and 4 patients, respectively. 10 patients have bile duct diameter <6 mm. Postoperative anastomotic leakage occurred in 1, and all patients were received followed-up visit for 2 months to 4 years without anastomotic stenosis.Conclusion:Four-stitch cholangiojejunostomy is simple, safe, effective, and convenient for small biliary ductal surgeries.

Clinical efficacy of end-inside anastomosis for keeping biliary mucosal integrity / 中华肝胆外科杂志

Objective To compare the effect of two procedures,named "mucosa to mucosal "and "end-inside" anastomosis for cholangiojejunostomy,and analyze its applicable scope.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 340 patients who underwent choledochojejunostomy from May 2012 to May 2017 in the Navy General Hospital.These patients were divided into two groups according to the procedure they received,including " mucosa to mucosal" anastomosis (n =249) and " end-inside"anastomosis (n =91).Two anastomotic methods of intraoperative state and postoperative complications were compared respectively under normal bile duct condition and cholangiectasis condition.Results When the common bile duct was not dilated,time spent for anastomoting in "end-inside" anastomosis was significantly shorten than that in "mucosa to mucosal" anastomosis (12.7 ± 1.2) min vs.(25.2 ± 5.8) min,and incidences of anastomotic leakage,bile duct infection,liver abscess,blie duct stricture postoperation (1.6％ vs.9.7％) in "end-inside" anastomosis were significantly lower than those in "mucosa to mucosal" anastomosis (P ＜ 0.05).Whether the common bile duct was dilated or not,the shrinking extents of stoma in " end-inside" anastomosis were lower than those in " mucosa to mucosal" anastomosis (1.4 ± 0.4) mm vs.(3.6 ± 1.2),(2.9 ± 0.6) mm vs.(4.2 ± 1.2) mm with statistical significances (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant differences between two procedures when common bile duct was dilated.Conclusion Compared to the mucosa to mucosal anastomosis,the end-inside anastomosis had the advantage of easy operating and low postoperative complications when the bile duct was not dilated.

Selection of bile duct injury repair method based on proximal bile duct blood supply / 国际外科学杂志

Surgical repair options of bile duct injury have been controversial.Clinical survey shows that high cholangiojejunostomy repairs have a better long term outcomes than end to end duct anastomosis or low cholangiojejunostomy repairs near to injured position,but the mechanism is not fully understood.With the depth understanding of blood supply changes of the injured proximal bile duct,it is believed that,in addition to the surgeon's experience,the severity of the injury,general or local condition of patient,the doctor should select specific surgical repair based on the blood supply of the injured proximal bile duct.

Guidance of a new classification on the treatment methods selection for cystic dilation of bile duct / 中华消化外科杂志

Objective To investigate the guidance of a new classification on the treatment methods selection for cystic dilation of bile duct (CDBD).Methods The clinical data of 213 patients with CDBD who received treatment according to the Todani 2003 classification at the Peking Union medical College Hospital from September 1968 to July 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The CDBD was reclassified with a new classification proposed by Dong Jiahong et al,and the guidance of the new classification on the treatment methods selection for CDBD was analyzed.Patients were followed up via out-patient examination and telephone interview till August 2013.Results Of the 213 patients,139 were with Todani type Ⅰ CDBD (type C CDBD of the new classification) ; 3 were with Todani type Ⅱ CDBD (type C1 CDBD of the new classification) ; 1 was with Todani type Ⅲ CDBD (type E CDBD of the new classification); 52 were with Todani type Ⅳa CDBD (35 with type D1 and 17 with type D2 CDBD of the new classification) ; 1 was with Todani type Ⅳb CDBD (type C CDBD of the new classification) ; 8 were with Todani typeⅤ-Ⅰ CDBD (type B CDBD of the new classification) ; 9 were with Todani type Ⅴ-Ⅱ CDBD (type A CDBD of the new classification).Eighteen patients did not receive the surgical treatment.Of the 195 patients who received surgical treatment,patients with type C and D CDBD of the new classification took a large proportion.Patients with type C CDBD of the new classification received cystectomy,biliary cyst resection,Rouxen-Y cholangiojejunostomy or internal drainage.Patients with type D CDBD of the new classification received extrahepatic biliary cyst resection,Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy.Patients with severe intrahepatic disease and with type D1 CDBD of the new classification received concomitant left hemihepatectomy or pancreaticoduodenectomy.Patients with type A1 CDBD of the new classification received right hemihepatectomy.Patients with type A2 CDBD of the new classification were cured by conservative treatment after split liver transplantation.Patients with type B1 CDBD of the new classification received left hemihepatectomy and Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy.Patients with type B2 CDBD of the new classification received bile duct stone extraction.There was 1 patient with type E CDBD,and partial resection of the CDBD ± bile duct reconstruction was carried out.Pancreatic fistula,biliary fistula,reflux cholangitis,cholangitis and anastomotic stricture were detected on 74 patients,and they were cured by conservative treatment or lithotomy.A total of 187 patients were followed up with the median time of 85 months (range,1-432 months).One hundred of seventy-five patients recovered well,and 12 patients with canceration of the bile duct died of tumor metastasis at postoperative 1-282 months.Conclusion This new classification simplifies the typing of extrahepatic bile duct dilation,refines the typing of intrahepatic bile duct dilation,and has better guidance for surgical treatment.

Derivação biliodigestiva no tratamento do tumor de Klatskin / Intestinal biliary bypass in Klatskin's tumor treatment

INTRODUÇÃO: Colangiocarcinomas são formas incomuns de neoplasia gastrointestinal, cuja incidência varia de 0,01% a 0,8%. Os tumores de Klatskin são colangiocarcinomas hilares originados na bifurcação do ducto hepático principal. Atualmente a maioria dos tratamentos é paliativa. OBJETIVOS: Relatar um caso de tumor de Klatskin submetido à drenagem cirúrgica da via biliar intra-hepática. RELATO DO CASO: Homem de 68 anos, procurou assistência médica com quadro ictérico intenso e colangiorressonância magnética confirmou o diagnóstico de tumor de Klatskin. Levado à laparotomia exploradora verificou-se massa em hilo hepático com invasão portal, hepática e do complexo duodenopancreático. Optou-se por derivação biliodigestiva e hepatectomia parcial esquerda com anastomose hepaticojejunal. Houve boa evolução no pós-operatório, com diminuição da icterícia. CONCLUSÃO: A derivação biliodigestiva no tratamento do tumor de Klatskin é procedimento que alivia o quadro ictérico melhorando a qualidade de vida, e pode ser utilizado quando há irressecabilidade tumoral.

INTRODUCTION: Cholangiocarcinomas are uncommon (0,01 to 0,8%) forms of gastrointestinal neoplasms. The Klatskin tumour is ductal cholangiocarcinoma originated on the bifurcation of main hepatic duct. Currently, the majority of cases are treated in palliative way. CASE REPORT: Man with 68 years old seek medical assistance with intense jaundice and MRI gave the final diagnosis of Klatskin tumour. Exploratory laparotomy showed big hepatic mass involving portal vein and neighboring tissues. He was submitted to palliative procedure with hepatojejunal anastomosis and partial hepatectomy. He was discharged from the hospital with better clinical conditions and alleviated from his jaundice. CONCLUSION: Intestinal biliary bypass in Klatskin is an indicated procedure to alleviate the jaundice in the terminal phase of this tumour, improving the quality of live.

Percutaneous choledochoscopy through cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma for recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones / 中国微创外科杂志

Objective To investigate methods and effects of percutaneous choledochoscopy via cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma in the treatment of recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones. Methods Eight cases of recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones after a Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy from January 2000 to February 2005 were treated with percutaneous choledochoscopy. An enterostomy was made at the afferent jejunal loop. Then a choledochoscope was introduced into the intrahepatic biliary ducts by way of the cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma for stone removal and intrahepatic duct or anastomotic stoma dilatation. Results The intrahepatic stones were thoroughly removed in all the 8 cases. The biliary duct stenosis in 4 cases and the anastomotic stoma stenosis in 2 cases were relieved. Follow-up checkups in the 8 cases for 1~3 years revealed no recurrence of intrahepatic stones or stenosis. Conclusions Percutaneous choledochoscopy via cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma is minimally-invasive, safe, feasible, and effective in the treatment of recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones.
