Abstract:
Objective To study on the method of applying laparoseopy for the treatment of choledo cholithiasis after biliary tract operation, and to evaluate its therapeutic efficacy. Methods Thirty-seven cases of common bile duct stones after operation from October 1999 to December 2003, received laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) were retrospectively analyzed. Results Satisfactory results were accepted in 35 cases and the rest two cases converted to laparotomy. Thirty cases had got primary healing by the help of employing endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) , 7 cases received T-tube drainage. There was neither residual stones left nor serious after-effect including biliary fistula and hemobilia happened. Mean operative time was ( 168 ?30. 2) min. Mean postoperative stay in hospital was (11.5?1.3) d. Recurrences of calculi and bile duct stricture never happened within 6-48 m follow-up study. Conclusion The laparoscopic procedure is technically feasible and safe alternative, however, the technique in lyses of adhesions, dissection and suture of choledochus are quite difficult, therefore it is recommended to be performed in experienced hands expected to minimize the occurrence of complications, and firmly mastered the indications of conversion to laparotomy as far as possible.
