Long-term outcomes of choledochoduodenostomy for choledocholithiasis: increased incidence of postoperative cholangitis after total or distal gastrectomy. Surg Today 2024; 54:331-339. [PMID: 37642741 DOI: 10.1007/s00595-023-02740-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/27/2023] [Accepted: 07/16/2023] [Indexed: 08/31/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE Choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) is performed to treat choledocholithiasis (CDL) cases where endoscopic stone removal is difficult. Recognizing CDD characteristics is important for CDL treatment planning. METHODS A total of 116 patients, including 33 patients ≥ 80 years old (29 with previous total gastrectomy, 19 with previous distal gastrectomy, 20 with built-up stones, 19 with periampullary diverticulum, 10 with confluence stones, 8 with repetitive recurrent stones, 4 with hard stones, 3 with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography [ERC] not available due to lack of cooperation, 2 with a history of pancreatitis post-ERC, and 2 in whom ERC could not be performed due to a disturbed anatomy) underwent CDD for CDL. Postoperative complications and long-term outcomes were evaluated. RESULTS The in-hospital mortality rate was 0%. The morbidity (grade ≥ IIIA according to the Clavien-Dindo classification) rates in the elderly (≥ 80 years old) and non-elderly (51-79 years old) patients were 3.0% (1/33) and 2.4% (2/83), respectively (p = 0.85). Long-term complications included cholangitis in eight (7%) patients, of which three cases were repetitive and seven had an operative history of total or distal gastrectomy. The incidence of postoperative cholangitis after total or distal gastrectomy was 15% (7/48), which was significantly higher than that involving other causes (1.5%, 1/68; p < 0.01). Two patients with cholangitis after total gastrectomy experienced early recurrence of lithiasis at 2 and 9 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS CDD is safe, even in elderly patients. However, a history of total gastrectomy or distal gastrectomy may increase the incidence of postoperative cholangitis.

Ann Med Surg (Lond) 2024; 86:1950-1955. [PMID: 38576960 PMCID: PMC10990411 DOI: 10.1097/ms9.0000000000001902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/19/2023] [Accepted: 02/25/2024] [Indexed: 04/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Interrupted sutures is the gold standard technique of hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) for bilioenteric anastomosis. This study compares the safety and early complications of continuous and interrupted suture HJ. Methods A prospective study involving all elective HJ between September 2019 and June 2021 was conducted. Patients with type IV or V biliary strictures, duct diameter less than 8 mm and/or associated vascular injury, and bilateral HJ were excluded. The study patients were divided into two random groups; interrupted and continuous anastomotic technique. Patient demographics, preoperative parameters including pathology (benign vs. malignant), HJ leak, suture time, and postoperative morbidity were recorded. Results Total 34 patients were enroled. Eighteen (52.9%) were into interrupted and 16 (47.1%) patients into the continuous group. Both the groups were comparable with regards to demographics, haemoglobin, serum albumin, preoperative cholangitis and biliary stenting. Total three (8.8%) patients in the entire study developed bile leak; interrupted-2 and continuous-1, which was not significant statistically (P=1.0). Similarly, total number of sutures used and the mean operating time to complete anastomosis in the continuous group was significantly lesser than the interrupted group (2.3±0.5 versus 9.6±1.6, P<0.001) and (16.2±3.1 versus 38.6±9.2 min, P<0.001), respectively. There were three (18.8%) re-exploration in the continuous anastomotic technique. Among them, only one re-operation was due to HJ anastomosis failure without mortality, remaining had re-exploration for bleeding (non-HJ). Conclusions Both the techniques is safe with comparable morbidity. Further, continuous has an added advantage of decreased anastomotic time and cost.

Ma Z, Deng J, Ma B, Chen H. Real-time Indocyanine Green Fluorescence Technique Reduces Anastomotic Leakage in Bilioenteric Anastomosis: A Case Report and literature review. Photodiagnosis Photodyn Ther 2023:103609. [PMID: 37187271 DOI: 10.1016/j.pdpdt.2023.103609] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/03/2023] [Revised: 04/25/2023] [Accepted: 05/09/2023] [Indexed: 05/17/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Anastomotic leakage is a serious complication that can occur in bilioenteric anastomosis surgery, leading to significant morbidity and mortality. Currently, practitioners rely on subjective measures to determine anastomotic perfusion and mechanical integrity, which have limitations. The use of indocyanine green fluorescence technology has become increasingly widespread in clinical practice, especially in gastrointestinal-related surgery. This technique has a unique role in evaluating the blood perfusion of anastomoses and reducing the incidence of anastomotic leakage. However, there have been no reports of its use in bilioenteric anastomosis surgery. Further research is needed to investigate the potential benefits of indocyanine green fluorescence technology in improving outcomes and reducing complications in this type of surgery. CASE SUMMARY a 50-year-old female patient underwent total laparoscopic radical resection of cholangiocarcinoma. During the surgery, indocyanine green fluorescence technology was used to complete the biliary intestinal anastomosis under full visual and dynamic monitoring. The patient recovered well after the operation without experiencing biliary leakage or other complications. CONCLUSION The present case study underscores the potential advantages associated with the incorporation of intraoperative real-time indocyanine green (ICG) technology in bilioenteric anastomosis surgery. By facilitating enhanced visualization and assessment of anastomotic perfusion and mechanical stability, this state-of-the-art technique may help mitigate the occurrence of anastomotic leaks while simultaneously improving patient outcomes. Notably, intravenous administration of ICG at a dose of 2.5 mg/kg, administered 24 hours prior to surgery, has been found to yield optimal visualization outcomes.

Interrupted versus continuous suture technique for biliary-enteric anastomosis: randomized clinical trial. BJS Open 2023; 7:7021143.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA) can be performed using continuous or interrupted suture techniques, but high-quality evidence regarding superiority of either technique is lacking. The aim of this study was to compare the suture techniques for patients undergoing BEA by evaluating the suture time as well as short- and long-term biliary complications. METHODS In this single-centre randomized clinical trial, patients scheduled for elective open procedure with a BEA between 21 January 2016 and 20 September 2017 were randomly allocated in a 1:1 ratio to have the BEA performed with continuous suture (CSG) or interrupted suture technique (ISG). The primary outcome was the time required to complete the anastomosis. Secondary outcomes were BEA-associated postoperative complications with and without operative revision of the BEA, including bile leakage, cholestasis, and cholangitis, as well as morbidity and mortality up to day 30 after the intervention and survival. RESULTS Altogether, 82 patients were randomized of which 80 patients received the allocated intervention (39 in ISG and 41 in CSG). Suture time was longer in the ISG compared with the CSG (median (interquartile range), 22.4 (15.0-28.0) min versus 12.0 (10.0-17.0) min, OR 1.26, 95 per cent c.i. 1.13 to 1.40; unit of increase of 1 min; P < 0.001). Short-term and long-term biliary complications were similar between groups. The incidence of bile leakage (6 (14.6 per cent) versus 4 (10.3 per cent), P = 0.738) was comparable between groups. No anastomotic stenosis occurred in either group. CONCLUSION Continuous suture of BEA is equally safe, but faster compared with interrupted suture.

Abstract
AIMS To compare outcomes of interrupted (IS) and continuous (CS) suturing techniques for Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy and duct-to-duct choledochocholedochostomy. METHODS The study protocol was prospectively registered in PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42021286294). A systematic search of MEDLINE, CENTRAL, and Web of Science and bibliographic reference lists were conducted (last search: 14th March 2022). All comparative studies reporting outcomes of IS and CS in hepaticojejunostomy and choledochocholedochostomy were included and their risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I tool. Overall biliary complications, bile leak, biliary stricture, cholangitis, liver abscess, and anastomosis time were the evaluated outcome parameters. RESULTS Ten comparative studies (2 prospective and 8 retrospective) were included which reported 1617 patients of whom 1186 patients underwent Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (IS: 789, CS: 397) and the remaining 431 patients underwent duct-to-duct choledochocholedochostomy (IS: 168, CS: 263). Although use of IS for hepaticojejunostomy was associated with significantly longer anastomosis time (MD: 14.15 min, p=0.0002) compared to CS, there was no significant difference in overall biliary complications (OR: 1.34, p=0.11), bile leak (OR: 1.64, p=0.14), biliary stricture (OR: 0.84, p=0.65), cholangitis (OR: 1.54, p=0.35), or liver abscess (OR: 0.58, p=0.40) between two groups. Similarly, use of IS for choledochocholedochostomy was associated with no significant difference in risk of overall biliary complications (OR: 0.92, p=0.90), bile leak (OR: 1.70, p=0.28), or biliary stricture (OR: 1.07, p=0.92) compared to CS. CONCLUSIONS Interrupted and continuous suturing techniques for Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy or duct-to-duct choledochocholedochostomy seem to have comparable clinical outcomes. The available evidence may be subject to confounding by indication with respect to diameter of bile duct. Future high-quality research is encouraged to report the outcomes with respect to duct diameter and suture material.

Natsume S, Shimizu Y, Okuno M, Kawakatsu S, Matsuo K, Hara K, Ito S, Komori K, Abe T, Nagino M. Continuous suture is a risk factor for benign hepaticojejunostomy stenosis after pancreatoduodenectomy in patients with a non-dilated bile duct. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:1744-1750. [PMID: 33972135 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2021.04.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2020] [Revised: 03/09/2021] [Accepted: 04/03/2021] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND It is unclear whether hepaticojejunostomy with a continuous suture is suitable for patients with a non-dilated bile duct. METHODS Medical records of patients who underwent pancreatoduodenectomy between 2003 and 2013 were retrospectively reviewed, focusing on the incidence of benign anastomotic stenosis and its relationship with suture method (continuous vs interrupted) and common hepatic duct size. RESULTS Among 336 patients, 172 had a non-dilated (<8 mm) duct, and the remaining 164 had a dilated duct. Benign stenosis occurred in 12.2% (21/172) in the former, but in only 0.6% (1/164) in the latter (p < 0.001; median follow-up period, 43.5 months). Thus, further analysis was conducted in the 172 patients with a non-dilated duct, among whom 116 received a continuous suture and 56 received an interrupted suture. The cumulative incidence of benign anastomotic stenosis was significantly higher in patients who received a continuous suture vs those who received an interrupted suture (15.6% vs 1.8%, respectively, at 3 years; p = 0.006). Multivariable analysis identified continuous suture, male gender, and cholangitis (within 3 months after surgery) as independent risk factors for benign stenosis. CONCLUSIONS In this observational study, the use of a continuous suture was associated with benign anastomotic stricture in patients with a non-dilated hepatic duct.
