Objective To explore the indications for liver transplantation among patients with hepatolithiasis. Methods Data from 1431 consecutive patients with hepatolithiasis who underwent surgical treatment from January 2000 to December 2006 were retrospectively collected for analysis. Surgical procedures included T-tube insertion combined with intraoperative cholangioscopic removal of intrahepatic stones, hepatectomy, cholangiojejunostomy, and liver transplantation. Results Nine hundred and sixty-one patients who had a stone located in the left or right intrahepatic duct underwent hepatectomy or T-tube insertion combined with intraoperative cholangioscopic removal of intrahepatic stones. The rate of residual stones was 7.5% (72/961). Four hundred and seventy patients who had a stone located in the bilateral intrahepatic ducts underwent surgical procedures other than liver transplantation; the rate of residual stones was 21.7% (102/470). Only 15 patients with hepatolithiasis underwent liver transplantation; they all survived. According to the degree of biliary cirrhosis, recipients were divided into 2 groups: a group with biliary decompensated cirrhosis (n=7), or group with biliary compensated cirrhosis or noncirrhosis group (n=8). There were significant differences in operative times, transfusion volumes and blood losses between 2 groups (P＜0.05). In the first group, 6 of 7 patients experienced surgical complications, and in the second, 8 recipients recovered smoothly with no complications. Health status, disability and psychological wellness of all recipients (n=15) were significantly improved in 1 year after transplantation as compared with pretransplantation (P＜0.05). Conclusion Liver transplantation is a possible method to address hepatolithiasis and secondary decompensated biliary cirrhosis or difficult to remove, diffusely distributed intrahepatic duct stones unavailable by hepatectomy, cholangiojejunostomy, and choledochoscopy.
After analysising 15 patients with portal hypertension (PHT) in secondary biliary cirrhosis due to hepatolithiasis, the authors consider that the surgical procedure depends on indivedual’s specificity: majority of patients with PHT but no hemorrhage may be treated by removing the hepatobiliary stone, resolving the bile duct stricture and then reconstructing it as the first step. Whether or not to dispose of PHT depended on the postoperative condition. If the patient had previous hemorrhage and is accompanied by severe obstructive jaundice, splenectomy with shunt and simple biliary external drainage is the choice and removal of stone with biliary tract reconstruction will be performed in the second stage. Meanwhile, it is very important to monitor perioperative condition of the patient and treat the complications.
Serum concentration of follicularstimulating hormone(FSH),lutenizing hormone(LH),prolactin（PRL），estradio(E2),erstriol(E3) and progesterong(P) of 56 women with gallstones and 53 other female patients were measured by radioimmunoassqy.It was found that the levels of serum estrogen were not only in reproductive aged or postmenopausal women, but also in women with or without gallstones. So it is not certain of the relation between estrogen and gallstone from this study.
目的探讨胃癌根治术后引起急性非结石性胆囊炎的原因及机理。方法回顾性分析2002年1月至2004年11月期间术前未发现胆囊疾患行远端胃癌根治术的43例患者，术后发生急性非结石性胆囊炎的发病情况。结果43例患者中并发急性非结石性胆囊炎12例。结论胃癌根治术后并发急性非结石性胆囊炎与神经、体液、胃肠道动力、细菌感染、血液供应及内源性凝血因子的激活有关，合理的术式及预防措施有一定的预防作用。
Objectives To investigate the diagnosis and laparoscopic surgical treatment methods of calculus of cystic duct. MethodsThe clinical data of 147 patients with calculus of cystic duct underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical College from June 2008 to June 2013 were analyzed retrospectively. ResultsAmong the 147 patients with calculus of cystic duct, 19 cases were given preoperative diagnosis by B-ultrasound and CT scanning, 128 cases were found by exploration in operation; 146 cases underwent LC successfully and 1 case was converted to laparotomy.The 147 cases were followed-up for 3 months to 2 years with an average of 7 months and all cases were out of bile duct injury, hemorrhage, bile leakage, residual calculi or other complications. ConclusionsPreoperative diagnosis of calculus of cystic duct is difficult, meanwhile, routine intraoperative probe is very necessary for the diagnosis of calculus of cystic duct.Proficiency in surgical technique with laparoscopic treatment of calculus of cystic duct is the key to the success of LC.
Objective To probe into disorder of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in patients with gallstone,and their position and function in formation of gallstone. MethodsConcentration of plasma lipids and apolipoproteins in 94 healthy subjects and 161 patients with gallstones was investigated. ResultsThe gallstone group had a higher serum mean concentration of TG,Apo CⅡ,Apo CⅢ, and had a lower serum mean concentration of TC，HDLc，HDL2c，HDL3c and LDLc as compared with the control group (P＜0.01 or P＜0.05). Conclusion Higher serum mean concentration of TG，Apo CⅡ，Apo CⅢ, and lower serum mean concentration of TC, HDLc, HDL2c, HDL3c and LDLc, are characteristic of lipids metabolism and important cause of formation of gallstone.
ObjectiveTo investigate the feasibility and safety of percutaneous transhepatic choledochoscopic lithotripsy (PTCSL) in the treatment of recurrent type Ⅱa hepatolithiasis.MethodsAll of 293 patients with recurrent type Ⅱa hepatolithiasis admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from December 2010 to December 2017 were collected retrospectively, 82 of whom were treated with the PTCSL (PTCSL group), 211 of whom were treated with traditional open surgery (open group). The patients were matched according to the ratio of 1∶1 by using the method of propensity score matching, then the patients were compared after matching.ResultsA total of 59 pairs were successfully matched, that was, there were 59 patients in the PTCSL group and open group, respectively. Compared with the open group, the PTCSL group had the similar conditions such as the gender, age, preoperative Child-Pugh classification, and times of previous biliary operations, etc. (P>0.050). There was no perioperative death in both groups. There were no significant differences between the two groups in the success rate, operation time, times of operations, time of T tube removal after operation, stone residual rate, and stone recurrence rate (P>0.050). Although the hospital costs of the PTCSL group was higher than that of the open group (P<0.050), the PTCSL group had various advantages, such as less intraoperative bleeding, smaller incisional scar, shorter hospital stay and postoperative ventilation time, and lower rate of total postoperative complications (P<0.050).ConclusionsAfter learning curve, PTCSL has many advantages over traditional open surgery in treatment of recurrent type Ⅱa hepatolithiasis. PTCSL is a minimally invasive surgery, which is safe and effective.
