ABSTRACT

SUMMARY To investigate the effect and feasibility of total laparoscopy to treat hepatolithiasis using gall-bladder-hepatic duct subcutaneous tunnel.Retrospective analysis was conducted of the case data of 11 pa-tients with hepatolithiasis who underwent total laparoscopic treatment using gallbladder-hepatic duct sub-cutaneous tunnel from January 2010 to October 2014.The operation time,blood loss,postoperative com-plications and recurrence of stones were recorded.All the cases completed the operation.The average hos-pital-stay was 9.2 days (range3 -29 d).The average operation time was 298 min (range225 -480 min).The average blood loss was 253 mL (range50 -700 mL),and the average blood loss of liver re-section groups was 325 mL (range200 -700 mL).The average discharge time was 3.3 days (range3 -5 d).The rate of postoperative residual stones was 36.4% (4 /11).We extracted stones with chole-dochofiberscope via T-tube sinus six weeks after operation.One case developed biliary leakage,and healed through adequate drainage and the T-tube was pulled out after one month.There was no periopera-tive mortality.All the cases were followed up and the mean follow-up was 22 months (range2 -51 months).The anastomotic stenosis of gallbladder-hepatic duct was found in one case.But we got a good therapeutic result with performed gallbladder chemical ablation with 95% ethanol.No recurrence of hepa-tolithiasis was found.As a choice for minimally invasive method to hepatolithiasis using gallbladder-he-patic duct subcutaneous tunnel,total laparoscopy is a safe and feasible procedure.
