Surgical Management of Recurrence of Primary Intrahepatic Bile Duct Stones. Can J Gastroenterol Hepatol 2023; 2023:5158580. [PMID: 36726399 PMCID: PMC9886471 DOI: 10.1155/2023/5158580] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/26/2022] [Revised: 10/09/2022] [Accepted: 01/09/2023] [Indexed: 01/25/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical treatment of primary intrahepatic bile duct stones is associated with high rates of postoperative complications, stone recurrence, and reoperation. This study aimed to report an 11-year experience in the management of postoperative recurrence of intrahepatic bile duct stones, analyze the causes of the reoperation, and establish appropriate surgical procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS The records of 148 patients with postoperative recurrence of primary intrahepatic bile duct stones treated from January 2005 to December 2015 were retrospectively reviewed. Prior surgical treatment and postoperative data were analyzed to investigate possible causes of recurrence and reoperation. RESULTS All patients with a prior cholangiojejunostomy (n = 61) developed biliary stenosis (100%). Of the 86 patients without cholangiojejunostomy, 71 (82.56%) had abnormalities in the structure and function of the lower end of the common bile duct, and 86 had hilar and intrahepatic bile duct stenosis. Of all 148 patients, 136 (91.89%) had positive intraoperative bile cultures. Patients were treated with a modified surgical procedure, and the combined excellent and good rate of long-term outcomes reached 85.48% (106/124). The stone recurrence rate of the 124 patients decreased from 100% (124/124) of the prior operation to 5.65% (7/124) during the reoperation. CONCLUSIONS The pathogenesis of primary intrahepatic bile duct stones is associated with biliary infection and intrahepatic bile duct cholestasis. According to the etiology and pathogenic mechanism, surgical procedures that improve long-term outcomes and reduce postoperative recurrence include bile duct exploration with stone extraction, partial hepatectomy, hilar ductoplasty, and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy.

Surg Endosc 2023; 37:274-281. [PMID: 35927348 DOI: 10.1007/s00464-022-09496-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/16/2022] [Indexed: 01/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is being increasingly used in pediatric choledochal cysts (CCs), but is most commonly performed in older children and adolescents. The outcomes in young infants remain to be explored. The purpose of this study is to compare outcomes in infants aged ≤ 1 year with an older cohort. METHODS From July 2015 to January 2020, a retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the RAS in patients with CCs at our institution. Patients were divided into two groups (group A ≤ 1 year old and group B > 1 year old). Demographics, intraoperative details, complications, and outcomes were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 79 patients were included in the study (28 patients in group A and 51patients in group B). The median age of patients at the surgery in group A was 4.9 months (IQR: 3.1-9.1), compared with 46.8 months (IQR: 28.5-86.5) in group B. Three patients in group A were neonates. No conversion to open surgery was required. No significant differences were found between the two groups including sex, Todani type, or diameter of the cysts. The diameter of the common hepatic duct was smaller in group A (6.0 ± 1.7 vs. 9.0 ± 3.0 mm; p < 0.001). Group A had the longer hepaticojejunostomy time [51(44-58) vs. 42(38-53) min; p = 0.013], while Group B had the longer cyst excision time [43(41-59) vs. 50(43-60) min; p = 0.005]. However, their total operative time and console time were similar. There were no statistical differences in length of hospital stay and complications between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS Robot-assisted cyst resection and hepaticojejunostomy are feasible and safe in infants ≤ 1 year old. Age cannot be considered an absolute contraindication for robotic surgery in patients with CCs.

Long-term postoperative outcomes of Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy in patients with benign biliary stricture. BMC Surg 2022; 22:231. [PMID: 35710403 PMCID: PMC9204910 DOI: 10.1186/s12893-022-01622-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/04/2021] [Accepted: 04/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Although there are common postoperative complications, Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy is still broadly used as a standard surgical procedure for patients with biliary stricture. This study aimed to explore long-term risk factors of cholangiojejunostomy in patients with biliary stricture who underwent revisional cholangiojejunostomy. Methods Clinical data of 61 patients with biliary stricture undergoing revisional cholangiojejunostomy were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were classified into two groups (patients with traumatic biliary stricture and non-traumatic biliary stricture). Postoperative complications and survival time were successfully followed up. Results Among the patients, 34 underwent revisional cholangiojejunostomy due to traumatic biliary stricture, and 27 underwent revisional cholangiojejunostomy due to non-traumatic biliary surgery. Although there was no statistical difference in most clinical data between two groups, biliary dilation or not during the first surgery, cholelithiasis or not during the first surgery, long-term complications after first surgery, cholelithiasis or not during the second surgery, identifying abnormalities during the second surgery and long-term complications after second surgery were significantly different. All patients were successfully followed up and average follow-up time for patients with traumatic and non-traumatic biliary stricture was (88.44 ± 35.67) months and (69.48 ± 36.61) months respectively. Survival analysis indicated that there was no statistical difference in overall survival between two groups. Additionally, cox proportional hazard analysis demonstrated that first preoperative bilirubin level, short-term complication after first surgery and identifying abnormalities during the second surgery were independent risk factors that may have significant effects on patients' overall survival and long-term prognosis after cholangiojejunostomy. Among the intraoperative abnormal findings, residual lesions after the first operation had significant effects on the patients overall survival in the earlier stage. Relatively, anastomotic stoma stricture and biliary output loop problems had obvious effects on patients' overall survival at later stages. Conclusion First preoperative bilirubin level, short-term complication after first surgery and abnormal findings during the second surgery were independent risk factors of revisional cholangiojejunostomy, which may affect patients' long-term survival. Therefore, surgeons should minimize incidence of postoperative complications through fully evaluating optimal operative time and standardizing surgical procedures.

Abstract
Background To evaluate the efficacy and safety of our new surgical procedures for primary intra- and extrahepatic hepatolithiasis. Hepatolithiasis is an intractable disease with frequent recurrences. Methods From 1996 to 2005, 142 patients with intrahepatic and/or extrahepatic hepatolithiasis treated with the conventional surgical methods were included as the control group, while 128 consecutive patients treated with new surgical methods from 2006 to 2015 were included as the observation group. The new surgical procedures included a comprehensive intraoperative exploration of the bile ducts, focusing on the structure and function of the hilar bile duct and duodenal papilla, exploration of the affected liver, and bile culture. Results The observation group had a significantly higher complete stone clearance rate than the control group (100% vs. 65.96%). The observation group had significantly lower incidences of cholangitis and bile duct stones, as well as a higher excellent and good long-term surgical efficacy rate (86.24% vs. 52.73%). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the control group had a higher risk for fair + poor efficacy than the observation group (HR: 8.47). Conclusions Our new surgical procedures are safe and can provide a good long-term efficacy for treating primary hepatolithiasis intra- and extrahepatic hepatolithiasis.

Abstract
Introduction: Minimally invasive reconstruction of the biliary tract is complex and involves multiple steps. The procedure is challenging and has been an essential technique in modern hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery in recent years. Additionally, the quality of the reconstruction directly affects long-and short-term complications and affects the prognosis and quality of life. Various minimally invasive reconstruction methods have been developed to improve the reconstruction effect; however, the optimal method remains controversial. Areas covered: In this study, were viewed published studies of minimally invasive biliary reconstruction within the last 5 years and discussed the current status and main complications of minimally invasive biliary reconstruction. More importantly, we introduced the current reconstruction strategies and technical details of minimally invasive biliary reconstruction, which may be potentially helpful for surgeons to choose reconstruction methods and improve reconstruction quality. Expert opinion: Although several improved and modified methods for biliary reconstruction have been developed recently, no single approach is optimal or adaptable to all situations. Patient-specific selection of appropriate technical strategies according to different situations combined with sophisticated and skilled minimally invasive techniques effectively improves the quality of anastomosis and reduces complications.

Video review reveals technical factors predictive of biliary stricture and cholangitis after robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy. HPB (Oxford) 2021; 23:144-153. [PMID: 32646806 DOI: 10.1016/j.hpb.2020.05.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/07/2019] [Revised: 03/13/2020] [Accepted: 05/27/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cholangitis due to anastomotic stricture of the hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), while uncommon, adversely affects postoperative quality-of-life. While prior studies have identified patient-related risk factors for these biliary complications, technical risk factors have not been systematically examined. Video review of surgical procedures has helped define technical details predictive of postoperative complications in bariatric and hepato-pancreato-biliary (HPB) surgery. Similarly, the present study utilized video review to identify technical factors associated with cholangitis and anastomotic biliary stricture following robotic PD. METHODS This was an observational study. A blinded experienced HPB surgeon reviewed videos of post-learning-curve HJs performed during robotic PD and extracted 20 technical variables. Other demographic and clinical variables were collected from a prospectively maintained database. RESULTS 241 robotic PD videos were reviewed. 29 (12.0%) developed cholangitis and/or biliary stricture, with a median time-to-event of 189 (IQR 78-365) days. Several clinical and technical factors were independently predictive of cholangitis and/or biliary stricture: preoperative radiotherapy, small duct size (<10 mm diameter), increased distance of the HJ (>10 mm) from the hilar plate, and continuous suturing technique. CONCLUSION Post-hoc video review of HJ is a powerful method to predict biliary complications. Moreover, altering specific technical factors might enable surgeons to improve postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
Recurrence of common bile duct stones (CBDS) is common after surgical stone extraction, but the causes of recurrence are not fully understood. This study aimed to report the experience of treating recurrent CBDS. A total of 106 consecutive cases of recurrent CBDS treated from January 2006 to December 2015 were included. During surgery, the choledochoscopic pass-through test was performed to assess the structure and function of the duodenal papilla. The choledochoscopic pass-through test revealed 62 patients (58.49%) with incomplete closure of the lower end of the common bile duct, and 28 (26.42%) with stenosis at the lower common bile duct. Intra-operative bile bacterial culture was positive in 98 (92.45%) patients. The rate of complete stone clearance was 99.1%. The total recurrence rate of CBDS was 3.13%. The long-term success rate of surgical treatment (excellent and good) reached 92.7% .Duodenal papilla (Oddi sphincter) dysfunction is the main cause of recurrent CBDS. Common bile duct exploration with stone extraction, hilar ductoplasty, and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy can effectively eliminate the recurrence of CBDS and reduce the incidence of post-hepaticojejunostomy complications. Thus, it is an optimal surgical procedure for recurrent CBDS.

Abstract
The surgical method of complete/radical cyst excision plus Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy remains the primary therapy and the only effective treatment for cystic dilation of the bile ducts (CDBDs). However, the incidence of long-term postoperative complications is still high, as is the reoperation rate, and the potential for postoperative malignant transformation still exists. In recent years, significant progress has been made in understanding the pathogenic mechanism and pathological changes of adult CDBDs. Based on which, the surgical procedures for CDBDs have been revised to further improve their effectiveness. The purpose of this review is to systematically summarize the latest concepts of the etiology and pathogenic mechanism and the pathological changes of adult CDBDs. Based on the findings of these clinical and pathological studies, a comprehensive theoretical system in the surgical treatment of CDBDs has been established, which corrects many previous theoretical misunderstandings. The specific surgical method for each type of CDBDs and the key technical notes are also described in detail. Using these principles, treatment outcomes for CDBDs can be significantly improved, and the current high complication rate, reoperation rate, and rate of postoperative malignant transformation can be reduced.

Front Pediatr 2020; 8:590420. [PMID: 33364222 PMCID: PMC7752895 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2020.590420] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/01/2020] [Accepted: 10/14/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
Background: Operative duration might be important for perioperative morbidity, and its involvement has not been fully characterized in pediatric patients. We identified perioperative variables associated with operative duration and determined their influence on clinical outcomes in pediatric patients. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 701 patients who underwent elective removal of choledochal cysts followed by Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The patients were separated into the long operative time group (>165 min) and short operative time group (<165 min) based on the median operative time (165 min). Propensity score matching was performed to adjust for any potential selection bias. The independent risk factors for operative time were determined using multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results: The operative time was often increased by excision difficulty caused by a larger choledochal cyst size (OR = 1.56; 95% CI, 1.09-2.23; p < 0.001), a greater BMI (OR = 1.02; 95% CI, 1.00-1.15; p = 0.018), and older age (OR = 1.17; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39; p = 0.012) in the multivariate analysis. A long surgical duration was associated with delayed gastrointestinal functional recovery, as measured using the time to first defecation (p = 0.027) and first bowel movement (p = 0.019). Significantly lower levels of serum albumin were found in the long operative time group than in the short operative time group (p = 0.0035). The total length of postoperative hospital stay was longer in patients in the long operative time group (7.51 ± 2.03 days) than in those in the short operative time group (6.72 ± 1.54 days, p = 0.006). Conclusions: Our data demonstrated that a short operative time was associated with favorable postoperative results. The influencing factors of operative time should be ameliorated to achieve better outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Complete cyst excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is the standard procedure for choledochal cysts (CCs). In recent years, neonates have been increasingly diagnosed with CCs prenatally. Earlier treatment has been recommended to avoid complications. For type IVa malformation without extensive intrahepatic bile duct dilatation, laparoscopic hepaticojejunostomy is technically challenging, and anastomotic stricture is a concern. Therefore, we propose laparoscopic synthetical techniques-laparoscopic excision of cyst and ductoplasty plus widened portoenterostomy to avoid stricture in CCs with a narrow hilar duct. METHODS An anastomosis was created around the transected end of the common bile duct in 12 minipigs (Group A), and another 12 minipigs (Group B) received conventional cholangiojejunostomy. Anastomotic diameter measurements and cholangiography were conducted at different times. Histological findings of inflammation and scarring were compared. The expression levels of TGF-β1 and type I collagen were detected by real-time quantitative PCR. Between January 2012 and January 2016, laparoscopic excision of cyst and ductoplasty plus widened portoenterostomy were performed on 29 children with confirmed CCs with a narrow portal bile duct who were followed up for 12-48 months. RESULTS Group A survived well without obstruction. Slight inflammation and fibrotic tissue were confined to the bile duct periphery. In Group B, five pigs developed stricture. Severe inflammation and diffuse fibrosis affected the whole layer of the anastomosis. Fibrotic biomarkers were significantly higher postoperatively in Group B. Clinically, 29 patients exhibited satisfactory outcomes. No anastomotic stricture has been observed to date. CONCLUSIONS Laparoscopic synthetical techniques may be a superior option to prevent anastomotic stricture in treating CCs with a narrow portal bile duct.
