Objective To evaluate the surgical treatment of Nevin′s stage Ⅳ and Ⅴ gallbladder carcinoma. Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 62 cases of Nevin′s stage Ⅳ and Ⅴ gallbladder carcinoma patients undergoing surgical treatment from Jan. 1993 to Dec. 2002. Results There were 17 cases of stage Ⅳ and 45 of stage Ⅴ. Cholecystectomy was performed in 32 cases with a resection rate of 52%, 7 cases received radical resection, 10 extended radical resection and 15 palliative resection. The total surgical morbidity rate was 35.3%. Postoperative 1-, 3-, 5-year survival rate of radical and palliative resection were 61%, 31%, 11% and 27%, 13%, 0 respectively (P

Objective:To explore the diagnosis and management of anatomic variation of the cystic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) .Methods :From Jan 1999 to Dec 2013 ,4652 cases of LC ,which were performed in Qingpu Branch of Zhongshan Hospital ,Fudan University ,were retrospectively analyzed .A total of 34 cases of anatomic variation of the cystic duct were found .Among the 34 cases of anatomic variation of the cystic duct ,11 cases had thick and short cystic duct ,7 cases had a cystic duct converged into right hepatic duct ,6 cases had cystic duct converged into lower part of common hepatic duct ,1 case had cystic duct pronated forward and converged into common hepatic duct from left side ,3 cases had cystic duct that paral-lel itself with common hepatic duct and then converged into common bile duct ,4 cases were diagnosed with Mrizzi syndrome ,2 cases had situs viscera inversus .Results:Among the 34 cases with anatomic variations of cystic duct ,22 cases successfully un-derwent LC ,the other 12 cases were converted to open cholecystectomy .All the complications were biliary duct injury that re-covered well after treatment .Conclusions :Anatomic variation of the cystic duct is hard to diagnose preoperatively .Paying More attention to the anatomic variation during LC ,dissecting calot′s triangle carefully ,and identifying the relationship between the various pipeline is the key to prevent and reduce the biliary duct injury .
