[PMID: 36091583 PMCID: PMC9451971 DOI: 10.1155/2022/3306771] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/28/2022] [Revised: 07/22/2022] [Accepted: 07/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
Objective To investigate the clinical value of hepatectomy based on minimally invasive surgical images in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. Methods The clinical data of 87 patients with hepatolithiasis who received treatment in the Department of General Surgery of our hospital from February 2020 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different surgical methods, the patients were divided into minimally invasive group (n = 43) and laparotomy group (n = 44). Perioperative conditions and stone clearance rate were compared. Results The preoperative conditions of patients in the two groups were comparable, and the average operation time in the minimally invasive group was significantly longer than that in the laparotomy group (t = 18.783,P < 0.001). There was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding, postoperative fasting time, postoperative complications, and stone clearance between the two groups (P > 0.05). Postoperative hospital stay was significantly lower in the minimally invasive group than that in the laparotomy group (t = −0.486,P < 0.001). Conclusion Hepatectomy based on minimally invasive surgical imaging for hepatolithiasis is safe and feasible, has high clinical value, and can achieve similar short-term clinical efficacy to laparotomy and reduce the postoperative hospital stay of patients, reflecting its minimally invasive advantages, and it is worthy of clinical application.

Biliary Tract Exploration After Laparoscopic Left-sided Hepatectomy: A Comparative Study of Left Hepatic Duct Orifice Versus Common Bile Duct Approach. SURGICAL LAPAROSCOPY, ENDOSCOPY & PERCUTANEOUS TECHNIQUES 2022; 32:542-548. [PMID: 35960700 DOI: 10.1097/sle.0000000000001080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2021] [Accepted: 03/21/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic left-sided hepatectomy (LLH) and additional biliary tract exploration are effective methods to treat left-sided hepatolithiasis (LSH) combined with extrahepatic bile duct stones. Although biliary tract exploration through common bile duct (CBD) incision has been widely accepted, the safety and effectiveness of the left hepatic duct (LHD) orifice approach after LLH is still in debate. METHODS One hundred and forty-four patients with LSH who underwent LLH and biliary tract exploration in our institution from April 2014 to September 2021 were enrolled in the retrospectively study. They were divided into 3 groups: LHD group (n=67), CBD/T-tube group (n=58), and CBD/PC group (n=19). Patients' demographic characteristics, intraoperative, and postoperative outcomes were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS LHD group exhibited a shorter operative time (202.8±42.2 vs. 232.7±47.5 min, P=0.000), time to first bowel movement (2.3±0.5 vs. 2.9±0.7 d, P=0.000) and postoperative hospital stay (7.5±2.1 vs. 9.8±5.2 d, P=0.001) compared with the CBD/T-tube group. The lithotomy time in the LHD group was significantly longer than that in the CBD/T-tube group (33.6±7.3 vs. 29.0±6.3 min, P=0.000) and CBD/PC group (33.6±7.3 vs. 28.7±3.7, P=0.006). Intraoperative blood loss, blood transfusion rate, initial stone clearance rate, and stone recurrence rate all had no significant differences between the 3 groups (all P>0.05). LHD group showed less rate of electrolyte imbalance than that of the CBD/T-tube group (3.0% vs. 19.0%, P=0.004) but it was equivalent to the CBD/PC group (P>0.05). The type of biliary tract exploration (odds ratio: 5.43, 95% confidence interval: 0.04-0.95, P=0.032) as independent predictors of electrolyte imbalance. No reoperation and mortality occurred in the 3 groups. The conversion rate was comparable among 3 groups (1.5% vs. 1.7% vs. 0, all P>0.05). No significant difference in stone recurrence rate was seen (1.5% vs. 3.4% vs. 0, all P>0.05). CONCLUSION Biliary tract exploration through LHD orifice after LLH is a safe and effective treatment for selected patients with LSH, with an advantage over the T-tube drainage in the field of operative time, the incidence of electrolyte imbalance, recovery of gastrointestinal function, and postoperative hospital stay.

Abstract
Hepatolithiasis is a complex disease with extensive lesions. There are currently many clinical classifications available. However, these classifications cannot accurately reflect the pathological changes and degree of hepatolithiasis, and are not conducive to communication. Various methods are used for treatment of hepatolithiasis, but they are often misused. We tried to establish a new HLDO classification based on the clinicopathological characteristics of hepatolithiasis and a treatment system based on this classification, so as to comprehensively and accurately describe the pathological changes and degree, scientifically and reasonably treat it, and reduce its residual stone rate and recurrence rate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Hepatolithiasis commonly occurs in the bile duct proximal to the confluence of the right and left hepatic ducts, regardless of the coexistence of gallstones in gallbladder or the common bile duct. Clinical research proves that minimally invasive surgery is effective in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. Although previous meta-analysis also shows that it could reduce intraoperative bleeding and blood transfusion, and shorten hospital stay time, there are few meta-analyses on its long-term efficacy. We conducted the meta-analysis and systematic review to systematically evaluate the long-term efficacy and advantages of minimally invasive hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. METHODS Articles of randomized controlled trials will be searched in the PubMed, Medline, Embase, Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Chongqing VIP Chinese Science and Technology Periodical Database, Chinese Biological and Medical database, and Wanfang database until September, 2020. Literature extraction and risk of bias assessment will be completed by 2 reviewers independently. Statistical analysis will be conducted in RevMan 5.3. RESULTS This study will summarize the present evidence by exploring the long-term efficacy and advantages of minimally invasive hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatolithiasis CONCLUSIONS:: The findings of the study will help to determine potential long-term efficacy and advantages of minimally invasive hepatectomy in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The private information from individuals will not be published. This systematic review also will not involve endangering participant rights. Ethical approval is not required. The results may be published in a peer-reviewed journal or disseminated in relevant conferences. OSF REGISTRATION NUMBER DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/H6WRV.

Abstract
Hepatolithiasis is commonly encountered in Southeastern and East Asian countries, and its incidence is increasing in Western countries. For symptomatic hepatolithiasis or asymptomatic hepatolithiasis with signs of liver atrophy or malignancy, surgical intervention is needed, especially when peroral cholangioscopy and percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotomy are not suitable or fail to be performed. Currently, laparoscopic surgery is gradually replacing traditional open surgery and becoming a better option. Various types of laparoscopic surgeries, including laparoscopic hepatectomy, laparoscopic biliary exploration through the common bile duct or the hepatic duct stump, and robotic-assisted laparoscopic surgery, have been developed for the treatment of simple hepatolithiasis, hepatolithiasis concomitant with choledocholithiasis, recurrent hepatolithiasis, and complicated hepatolithiasis. The related clinical experience is gradually accumulating. In this review, the laparoscopic applications and their advantages will be summarized. In most cases, the laparoscopic technique could provide the advantages of less trauma, reduced blood loss, and faster postoperative recovery.

Safety and feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection for patients with previous upper abdominal surgery: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Int J Surg 2019; 65:96-106. [PMID: 30946997 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijsu.2019.03.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/03/2018] [Revised: 10/13/2018] [Accepted: 03/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is technical challenge for patients with previous upper abdominal surgery (UAS), especially for those with previous liver resection. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to assess the safety and feasibility of laparoscopic liver resection for patients with previous UAS, in comparison with primary laparoscopic liver resection which means patients without previous upper abdominal surgery (non-UAS). METHODS All case-matched articles published from date of inception to 15th April 2018 were identified independently by two reviewers. Perioperative outcomes were analyzed. Data were extracted and calculated by random- or fixed-effect models. In addition, subgroup analysis according to patients with history of liver resection was performed. RESULTS A total of 8 non-randomized observational articles were included, with 1625 patients (430 patients in UAS group and 1195 in non-UAS group). The results showed that there was no significant difference between the two groups in perioperative outcomes. In the subgroup analysis of patients with a history of liver resection, however, LH for patients with previous liver resection had longer operative time comparing with patients without previous liver resection (WMD = 33.03, 95% CI 3.16 to 62.90, P = 0.030); other perioperative outcomes were similar between UAS and non-UAS groups. CONCLUSION LH is feasible and safe for selected patients with previous UAS comparing with that of primary resection, although LH has longer operative time for patients with previous liver resection.

Abstract
Background Hepatolithiasis is highly prevalent in East Asia characterized by the presence of gallstones in the biliary ducts of the liver. Surgical resection is the potentially curative treatment but bears a high risk of stone recurrence and biliary restenosis. This is closely related to the universal presence of chronic proliferative cholangitis (CPC) in the majority of patients. Recent evidence has indicated the association of bacterial infection with the development of CPC in hepatolithiasis. Thus, this study aims to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of local infusion of gentamicin (an antibiotic) for the treatment of CPC in a rabbit model. Methods The rabbit CPC model was established based on previously published protocols. Bile duct samples were collected from gentamicin-treated or control animals for pathological and molecular characterization. Results Histologically, the hyperplasia of biliary epithelium and submucosal glands were inhibited and the thickness of the bile duct wall was significantly decreased after gentamicin therapy. Consistently, the percentage of proliferating cells marked by ki67 was significantly reduced by the treatment. More importantly, this treatment inhibited interleukin 2 production, an essential inflammatory cytokine, and the enzyme activity of endogenous β-Glucuronidase, a key factor in the formation of bile pigment. Conclusions Local gentamicin infusion effectively inhibits the inflammation, cell proliferation, and lithogenesis in a rabbit model of CPC. This approach represents a potential treatment for CPC and thus prevents recurrent hepatolithiasis.

Abstract
Hepatolithiasis is a common and refractory benign biliary tract disease in China. Meta-analyses show that laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) is safe and effective for this disease. LH for hepatolithiasis has its distinctive techniques and procedures due to its unique clinicopathological characteristic in the era of precise hepatecomy and enhanced recovery after surgery. The key techniques include individualized selection of operating hole, hepatic inflow occlusion, anatomical hepatectomy, fine dissection, and other combined techniques. As for procedures, hepatecomy should be completed before extrahepatic bile duct choledocholithotomy is performed, and the portal hepatis should be preferentially dissected before the perihepatic ligaments are separated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The present meta-analysis focused on comparing the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy (LH) versus open hepatectomy (OH) for hepatolithiasis. In detail, short-term outcomes including operative time, intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion, postoperative time to oral intake, length of hospital stay, overall postoperative complication rate, initial residual stone, and stone recurrence were analyzed systematically. METHODS PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library were comprehensively searched for eligible studies up to Jun. 30. 2017. Bibliographic citation management software (EndNoteX7) was applied to literature management. Quality assessment was carried out according to the modification of the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale (NOS). The data were analyzed by Stata SE12.0 (StataCorp, College Station, TX). Sensitivity analysis was conducted by deleting single study step by step. Odds ratio (OR) were calculated for dichotomous data, and standard mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was calculated continuous data. RESULTS = 0%; P = 0.22). In addition, our stratified analysis according to types of LH indicated that the laparoscopic approach still produced more favorable outcomes whatever patients underwent left lateral sectionectomy (LLS) or left hemihepatectomy (LHH). CONCLUSION The laparoscopic hepatectomy is a better alternative to open approach in patients with hepatolithiasis, providing less overall complication rate, shorter postoperative stay of hospital stay, less blood loss, and shorter time to oral intake. However, high-quality randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are badly needed to provide higher-level evidence due to unavoidable bias from non-randomized trials.

Abstract
AIM To perform a meta-analysis on laparoscopic hepatectomy VS conventional liver resection for treating hepatolithiasis.
METHODS We conducted a systematic literature search on PubMed, Embase, Web of Science and Cochrane Library, and undertook a meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic hepatectomy VS conventional open liver resection for local hepatolithiasis in the left or right lobe. Intraoperative and postoperative outcomes (time, estimated blood loss, blood transfusion rate, postoperative intestinal function recovery time, length of hospital stay, postoperative complication rate, initial residual stone, final residual stone and stone recurrence) were analyzed systematically.
RESULTS A comprehensive literature search retrieved 16 publications with a total of 1329 cases. Meta-analysis of these studies showed that the laparoscopic approach for hepatolithiasis was associated with significantly less intraoperative estimated blood loss [weighted mean difference (WMD): 61.56, 95% confidence interval (CI): 14.91-108.20, P = 0.01], lower blood transfusion rate [odds ratio (OR): 0.41, 95%CI: 0.22-0.79, P = 0.008], shorter intestinal function recovery time (WMD: 0.98, 95%CI: 0.47-1.48, P = 0.01), lower total postoperative complication rate (OR: 0.52, 95%CI: 0.39-0.70, P < 0.0001) and shorter stay in hospital (WMD: 3.32, 95%CI: 2.32-4.32, P < 0.00001). In addition, our results showed no significant differences between the two groups in operative time (WMD: 21.49, 95%CI: 0.27-43.24, P = 0.05), residual stones (OR: 0.79, 95%CI: 0.50-1.25, P = 0.31) and stone recurrence (OR: 0.34, 95%CI: 0.11-1.08, P = 0.07). Furthermore, with subgroups analysis, our results proved that the laparoscopic approach for hepatolithiasis in the left lateral lobe and left side could achieve satisfactory therapeutic effects.
CONCLUSION The laparoscopic approach is safe and effective, with less intraoperative estimated blood loss, fewer postoperative complications, reduced length of hospital stay and shorter intestinal function recovery time than with conventional approaches.

Abstract
Hepatolithiasis is highly prevalent in Asia but rare in Western countries. However, the incidence of hepatolithiasis may be increasing in Western countries due to the increased rate of immigration from areas where hepatolithiasis is prevalent. There are many non-surgical treatments for hepatolithiasis, but surgical management remains the best curative treatment for some cases of hepatolithiasis. Surgical treatments can remove biliary stones and relieve stricture of the bile ducts. This review describes the indications for and the outcomes of surgical treatment of hepatolithiasis, including liver resection and liver transplantation.
