Abstract:
Objective To study the feasibility and efficacy of intraoperative choledoscopy combined with laparoscopic left liver resection to treat intrahepatic lithiasis.Method In 49 patients with biliary stone,laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy/left medial sectionectomy/left hepatectomy combined with intraoperative choledochoscopy and stone retrieval were carried out.Results Laparoscopic left lateral sectionectomy was carried out in 29 patients,left medial sectionectomy in 2 patients and left hepatectomy in 18 patients.In all the patients,combined choledoscopy and stone retrieval were carried out.A concomitant laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) was carried out in 11 patients.The average operative time was 226 min.When LC was carried out,the mean operative time was 243 min.The mean intraoperative blood loss was 378 ml.There was no bile leak or postoperative bleeding.Flatus was passed 1-3 days after surgery.The patients were discharged home 7-10 days after surgery.Postoperative MRI/MRCP did not reveal any residual stone.On a mean follow up of 16 months for 47 patients,the patients did well and there was no recurrent stone.Conclusion Choledochoscopy combined with laparoscopic left liver resection for bile duct stone resulted in minimal trauma to the patient.The recovery was quick and there was a high stone clearance rate.The treatment was safe,efficacious,and it is a viable minimally invasive treatment option.
