Résumé
Objective Because of local infiltrated growth and spread,the operative resection of hilar (cholangiocacinoma) is very difficult. Recently,combined extended hepatectomy and vascular resection had been performed for treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma and has greatly increased the resection rate and survival rate.However, it is associated with high operative morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study is to explore a reasonable hepatic resection strategy, that is safe and beneficial for the patient. Method Sixteen (consecutive) cases of hilar cholangiocarcinoma with involvement of hilar vessels have been treated in our hospital since 1977. En bloc resection of the hilar tumor that included hepatic segment I,IV and involved blood (vessel), as well as hepato-duodenal ligament skeletonization was performed in 15 patients. Results All 15 cases were successfully operated on with a resection rate of 93.8%, and 12 cases with R_0 resection. The operative mortality and in-hospital mortality rate were 0. Temporary bile leak and abdominal infection (respectively) developed in 1 patienteach,with an overall morbidity of 13.3%,and both were cured by non-(operative) therapy. No case of liver failure occurred. Follow up showed the median survival was 22 months and 7 are still alive. Conclusions (1)The resection rate and survival rate for hilar cholangiocarcinoma could be improved by combination of liver and hilar vascular resection.(2)Hilar cholangiocarcinoma mainly spreads to the medial segment(S4) and caudate(S1), and these segments need to be resected in the combined (operation).(3)Although resection of the middle part of liver takes little more time than hemi-hepatectomy and trisegmentectomy, it could preserve more liver parenchyma and reduce postoperative morbidity (such as liver failure) and mortality rates.(4)The resection of the hilar blood vessel involved by tumor was necessary to improve the resection rate and cure rate. Reconstruction of the blood vessel was made selectively by taking the circumstances into consideration.
Résumé
Objective To assess the causes and methods of surgical treatment of hepatolithiasis reoperation Methods The clinical data of 81 cases of hepatolith reoperation were analyzed retrospectively. Results The main causes of hepatolith reoperation include biliary stricture,biliary tract variation,cholangiocarcinoma, etc. The chief reoperation patterns were hepatic lobectomy, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy, and lobectomy combined with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.A follow-up of 2 months to 12 months showed excellent (outcome) of 93.8% of cases. According to postoperative cholangiograph,the retained stone rate was 6.2%. Conclusions When treating cholelithiasis ,we should follow the following principles: remove stones, relieve biliary stricture, correct biliary variation, resect abnormal liver, and establish adeguate biliary drainage.
Résumé
Objective To evaluate retrospectively the methods and outcomes of surgical treatment of patients with intrahepatic cholelithiasis and biliary stricture.Methods The data of the surgical therapy of 165 cases of cholelithiasis and biliary stricture admitted between January 1995 and January 2003 were analyzed.Group A included 85 cases managed by various types of hepatectomy or hepatic segmental resection(HSR).In group A,40 patients underwent simultaneous cholangiojejunostomy,in 10 patients the dilated bile duct on(resected) surface of liver and bile duct of hepatic hilum were separately anastomosed to the jejunum by double stoma anostomosis,T-tube drainage was done in 21 cases and U-tube drainage in 14 cases.Group B(patients)(n=80) were treated by operation without HSR,included 23 cases with choledochotomy and stone removal plus T-tube drainage,15 cases with choledochotomy and stone removal plus U-tube drainage,42(cases) with choledochotomy and stone removal plus biliary-enteric anastomosis;in group B,plastic operation of the hepatic duct stricture was proforemed in 46 cases.Results In Group A,no operative death occurred.The cases were followed up after operation from 2 to 7 years,and showed residual calculus rate was 4.71%,and symptoms recurrence rate 3.53%.No patient was operated again.In Group B,no operative death(occurred).The cases were followed up from 2 to 7 years after operation,and residual stones were found in 12 cases,a residual calculus rate of 15.00%.After operation,10 cases complained of upper abdominal pain and(fever),with a symptoms recurrence rate of 12.5%.The residual stones of 5 cases were removed by fiber biliary(endoscopy),while 3 cases of the other 6 cases received hepatectomy.Conclusions The combined(hepatic) resection and other operation is an ideal and effective surgical method to treat hepatolithiasis.
Résumé
Objective To assess the therapeutic effect and opportune time of surgical treatment of hepaticolithiasis . Methods The clinical data of 92 patients with hepaticolithiasis who underwent surgical treatment were analyzed retrospectively. Results (1) The incidence of postoperative complications was 14.1% (13/92 cases), in choledochoscopy group it was 9.3%(4/43 cases) and in the non choledochoscopy group 18.4%(9/49 cases) ; in the emergency operation group it was 36%(9/25 cases) and in selective operation group 5.97%(4/67 cases) . (2) The incidence of residual stones was 22.9%(21/92 cases); in choledochoscopy group it was 13.9%(6/43 cases) and the non choledochoscopy group 30.6%(15/49 cases); in emergency surgery group it was 36%(9/25 cases) and in selective operation group 17.9%(12/67 cases).(3)One pationt died from ACST two days after operation . All of the patients were followed up for 4-10 years; there were 80 cases (86.9%) who had a good therapeutic outcome. Conclusions Logical surgical procedure associated with choledochoscopy and appropriate timing of surgical intervention can markedly improve the effect of surgical treatment of hepaticolithiasis and reduce the incidence of postoperative complications.
Résumé
Objective To evaluate the procedure of surgical treatment of intrahepatic biliary calculi with blood vessel variation in hepatic hilus. Method The clinical data of 57 patients with intrahepatic biliary calculi and blood vessel variation in hepatic hilus treated by biliary operation were retrospectively analyzed.Results The simply biliary operation was performed on 13 cases ; variant blood vessels were cut off and ligated in 14 cases;The bile duct and blood vessel across conversion operation were performed on 22 cases;and the intrahepatic cholangiojejunostomy was carried out in 8 cases. There were no severe postoperative complications and perioperative mortality.51 patients(89.6%) were followed up for 4 to 15 years with the exellent results in 43(84.3%)cases. There were residual stones in 7 cases,of them,5 patients had intermittent abdominal pain in the right upper quadrant; reoperation was performed on another 2 cases because of recurrent cholangitis. One died of variceal bleeding 1.5 years after operation. Conclusions In order to accomplish the complex operations of biliary tract and avoid ischemic damage of liver, proper operation should be chosen for patients with intrahepatic biliary calculi with blood vessel variation in hepatic hilus.
