Application of minimally invasive technique in the treatment of acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis (AOSC) is one of the common surgical acute abdomen. It often causes the increase of intrabiliary pressure due to biliary obstruction, resulting in various clinical symptoms. The onset is urgent and the disease progresses quickly. It is the primary cause of death of benign biliary diseases. Timely biliary decompression and bile drainage are the key to treat AOSC and save the lives of patients. With the continuous progress of the concept of enhanced recovery after surgery and minimally invasive technical means, minimally invasive technical means such as endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, ppercutaneous transhepatic catheterizde drainage and endoscopic ultrasound guided biliary drainage have gradually become the preferred treatment for AOSC, playing a more and more important role in the treatment of AOSC. Combined with relevant research literature and the author′s personal experience in the treatment of AOSC with these technologies, this paper introduces the application value, advantages and disadvantages of the above three minimally invasive technologies in the treatment of AOSC.
