Abstract:
Objective To summarize our experience in the prevention and treatment of right accessory hepatic duct and right hepatic duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 21 cases with right accessory hepatic duct or right hepatic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy were reviewed retrospectively. Result According to anatomy identified by preoperative work-up and selective cholangiography during the operation, 18 cases had the right accessory hepatic duct,eleven of them were confirmed intraoperatively. The accessory hepatic ducts were conserved in 3 cases and clipped without biliary leaks postoperativly in 7 cases; One case had biliary leaks postoperatively with the duct sutured intraoperatively, and recovered well conservative therapy. Accessory hepatic ducts were accidentally injuried in 7 cases, two patients were transferred to open surgery; three cases were confirmed to be injuried and clipped by second laparoscopic exploration because of biliary leaks postoperatively. Three cases had a low confluence of the right and left hepatic duct with the gallbladder duct joining the right bile duct, the ducts were conserved in 2 cases and injuried in one. Postoperatively all these 21 cases were followed up for 2 years, without jaundice or liver dysfunction. Conclusions To prevent injury of right accessory hepatic duct and right hepatic duct. High vigilance and familiarity with the anatomic variants of the biliary tree and intraoperative cholangiography in selective cases are fundmental.
