Abstract:
Objective To investigate methods and effects of percutaneous choledochoscopy via cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma in the treatment of recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones. Methods Eight cases of recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones after a Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy from January 2000 to February 2005 were treated with percutaneous choledochoscopy. An enterostomy was made at the afferent jejunal loop. Then a choledochoscope was introduced into the intrahepatic biliary ducts by way of the cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma for stone removal and intrahepatic duct or anastomotic stoma dilatation. Results The intrahepatic stones were thoroughly removed in all the 8 cases. The biliary duct stenosis in 4 cases and the anastomotic stoma stenosis in 2 cases were relieved. Follow-up checkups in the 8 cases for 1~3 years revealed no recurrence of intrahepatic stones or stenosis. Conclusions Percutaneous choledochoscopy via cholangio-jejunal anastomotic stoma is minimally-invasive, safe, feasible, and effective in the treatment of recurrent intrahepatic biliary duct stones.
