Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effectiveness and technical points of anatomical liver resection by trans-Glisson Sheath methylene blue staining in treatment of hepatolithiasis of right posterior lobe.Methods The clinical data of 12 cases of hepatolithiasis of right posterior lobe treated with anatomical liver resection by Glisson sheath methylene blue staining were retrospectively analyzed.Result 6 of 12 patients had undergone more than 2 previous biliary surgeries.All patients underwent contrast-enhanced CT scan and portography,hepatolithiasis of segment Ⅵ in 4 cases,right posterior lobe in 8 cases,accompanied by left lateral lobe bile duct stones in 2 cases,the right caudate lobe bile duct stones in 1 case.Methylene blue was injected into the portal vein,the methylene blue interface of segment Ⅵ or right posterior lobe displays well.Methylene blue interface was larger than the ischemia interface,which is in accordance with the anatomy.Along the methylene blue interface,hepatic resection was performed including right posterior lobe resection (n =9),segment Ⅵ resection (n =3),and combined with left lateral lobe resection (n =2) and the right caudate lobe resection (n =1).There was no postoperative mortality.Incision infection occurred in 5 cases,4 had right pleural effusion and 2 had a biliary fistula that were treated conservatively.With a mean follow-up period of 3.2 years,all patients are symptoms free and stone free.Conclusions Anatomical liver resection by methylene blue staining is a safe and effective treatment for hepatolithiasis of right posterior lobe.
