Objective To explore the efficacy of various managements of indurative biliary fistula after HCE operation.Methods 31 patients who underwent surgery for indurative biliary fistula after HCE operation in Xinjiang Medical University were studied retrospectively.Cholangiography and common bile duct exploration through a T tube were done in 15 patients,cholangiography and decompression through a T tube which led to the orifice of the fistula of the cavity in 8 patients,hepatectomy in 4 patients,lobe resection + choledochojejunostomy in 2 patients,total pericystectomy in 1 patient,and cavity abscess debridement in 1 patient for severe infection of the abdominal cavity,followed by hemihepatectomy after half a year.Result On follow-up of 1-8 years,choledochojejunostomy had to be done in 1 patient for stricture of the bile duct after T tube drainage,hepatectomy in 1 patient for bile leakage after the cavity abscess debridement operation,and bile leakage in 1 patient after hepatectomy although with drainage the patient was cured.Conclusion The results suggested that hepatectomy and total pericystectomy completely solved the problems arising from indurative biliary fistula.However,these procedures are complicated,and have higher operative risks.Cholangiography and common bile duct exploration solved the cavity-related problems.For patients with severe calcified cavities which communicated with large hepatic ducts,cholangiography and decompression through a T tube put into the orifice of the fistula of the cavity solved the indurative biliary fistula efficaciously and safely.
