Cirugía de la hidatidosis hepática. Factores de riesgo y variables asociadas al desarrollo de morbilidad postoperatoria. Revisión global de la evidencia existente / Surgery for hepatic hidatidosis. Risk factors and variables associated with postoperative morbidity. Overview of the existing evidence

Las publicaciones relacionadas con morbilidad postoperatoria en hidatidosis hepática son escasas y de resultados disímiles. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar factores de riesgo y protectores de morbilidad postoperatoria en pacientes intervenidos por hidatidosis hepática. Se realizó una revisión global de la evidencia, basada en revisiones sistemáticas, ensayos clínicos y estudios observacionales, obtenidos de Trip Database, BVS, SciELO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, WoS, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, EBSCOhost, IBECS, ePORTUGUESe, LILACS y WHOLIS. Se identificaron 1.087 artículos relacionados y 69 cumplían criterios de selección (2 revisiones sistemáticas, 3 ensayos clínicos y 64 estudios observacionales). Se identificaron como factores de riesgo la edad, el antecedente de cirugía previa por hidatidosis hepática, la localización centro hepática, la existencia de comunicaciones biliares y complicaciones evolutivas del quiste y como protectores las técnicas quirúrgicas radicales. Se identificaron factores de riesgo y protectores; sin embargo, los estudios son escasos y de calidad moderada a baja (AU)

There are few publications related to postoperative morbidity in hepatic hydatidosis and these have mixed results. The aim of this study was to determine risk and protective factors of postoperative morbidity in patients operated on for hepatic hydatidosis. A comprehensive review was made of the evidence, based on systematic reviews, clinical analyses and observational studies, obtained from the Trip Database, BVS, SciELO, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, WoS, MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, EBSCOhost, IBECS, ePORTUGUESe, LILACS and WHOLIS. 1,087 related articles were identified; 69 fulfilled the selection criteria (2 systematic reviews, 3 clinical trials and 64 observational studies). Age, history of previous surgery for hepatic hydatidosis, location in the hepatic center, existence of biliary communications and evolutionary complications of the cyst were identified as risk factors, and radical surgical techniques as protective factors. Risk and protective factors were identified; however, the studies are few and the quality moderate to low (AU)

Calidad de vida post-reconstrucción de vía biliar / Quality of life after bile duct damage and repair during cholecystectomy

Background: Bile duct reconstruction after surgical lesions during cholecystectomy is a complex procedure with impact on postoperative quality of life. Aim: To compare the quality of life of patients who suffered a bile duct lesion during cholecystectomy with their counterparts in whom bile duct was not damaged. Material and Methods: The SF-36 questionnaire for quality of life was applied to 20 patients aged 44 +/- 16 years (79 percent women), who required a bile duct reconstruction due to lesions during cholecystectomy and to 20 age and gender matched patients subjected to uneventful cholecystectomies. Results: The SF-36 scores obtained for patients subjected to bile duct reconstruction and those with uneventful cholecystectomies were 78.5 +/- 21.5 and 74.1 +/- 16.7 (p = 0.46) respectively for physical function, 75 +/- 22 and 72.5 +/- 28 (p = 0.75) respectively for physical role, 79.6 +/- 23.3 and 66.6 +/- 28.6 respectively (p = 0.12) for emotional role, 60.8 +/- 25.4 and 50.3 +/- 17.4 respectively (p = 0.13) for vitality, 69.2 +/- 22.4 and 56.8 +/- 18.7 respectively (p = 0.06) for mental health, 84.3 +/- 19 and 64.1 +/- 22.1 respectively (p < 0.01) for social role, 74.1 +/- 25.1 and 71.8 +/- 24.7 respectively (p = 0,76) for pain and 57 +/- 24.4 and 56.8 +/- 24,4 respectively (p = 0.97) for general health. Conclusions: No differences in quality of life were observed between patients subjected to bile duct reconstruction and those who experienced uneventful cholecystectomies.

Introducción: La reconstrucción de vía biliar (RVB) secundaria a lesión de vía biliar asociada a cole-cistectomía (LVBAC) es una cirugía compleja y un aspecto importante es la calidad de vida (CV) posterior. El objetivo del presente trabajo es comparar la calidad de vida de una cohorte de pacientes sometidos a RVB por LVBAC con una cohorte de pacientes sometidos a colecistectomía sin incidentes. Material y método: Estudio de calidad de vida realizado en una cohorte concurrente a conveniencia. La cohorte está compuesta por 20 pacientes sometidos a RVB por LVBAC. Para tener un grupo de comparación se eligió una cohorte de pacientes sometidos a colecistectomía sin incidentes. Estas cohortes se parearon 1:1 por edad (+/- 4 años), género y tipo de cirugía. Se aplicó el cuestionario SF-36 con la puntuación propuesta por el grupo RAND de manera personal o telefónica. Se utilizó t-test para la comparación de los promedios de la puntuación. Por ser una cohorte a conveniencia se hizo cálculo de potencia del estudio, que fue del 99 por ciento. Resultados: La cohorte de pacientes de RVB está conformada por 20 pacientes, con una edad promedio de 44 +/- 15,51 años; siendo el 79 por ciento de género femenino. El promedio de seguimiento fue de 68 +/- 44 meses. La puntuación obtenida por los pacientes sometidos a RVB y colecistectomía fue: función física: 78,5 +/- 21,46 vs 74,05 ± 16,69 (p = 0,46); rol físico: 75 +/- 22 vs 72,5 +/- 27,98 (p = 0,75); rol emocional: 79,58 +/- 23,33 vs 66,6 +/- 28,61 (p = 0,12); vitalidad: 60,75 +/- 25,35 vs 50,25 +/- 17,38 (p = 0,13); salud mental: 69,2 +/- 22,36 vs 56,8 +/- 18,65 (p = 0,06); rol social: 84,31+/- 18,98 vs 64,12 +/- 22,11 (p = 0,003); dolor: 74,12 +/- 25,09 vs 71,75 +/- 24,69 (p = 0,76); salud general: 57 +/- 24,35 vs 56,75 +/- 24,40 (p = 0,97). A manera de descripción se hizo una comparación de subgrupos según técnica de Hepp-Couinaud, tiempo de RVB y necesidad de procedimientos percutáneos después de RVB. Conclusión: En el...

Fascioliasis simulating an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma-Case report with imaging and pathology correlation.

Human fascioliasis is a rare zoonosis in Chile. Clinically it presents with a highly polymorphous group of symptoms that evolve in two periods. The first, acute or a result of hepatic invasion, lasts 2 weeks to 4 months and is characterized essentially by pain in the right hypochondrium and/or epigastrium, continuous fever and painful hepatomegaly. This clinical picture, associated with eosinophilia and a history of raw watercress consumption, corresponds to the classic presentation of the disease in its initial stage. We report the case of a 57-year-old female patient with no risk factors for and no clinical signs of fascioliasis, with a lesion in the right hepatic lobe compatible with intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, studied with computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET-CT). With the clinical suspicion of intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, a regulated right hepatectomy was performed, the pathological study of which revealed cholangitis and granulomatous pericholangitis resulting from trematode eggs, compatible with Fasciola hepatica.
