Brief summary

The purpose of this research is to investigate the key technology and the related issues of minimal invasive treatment for hepatolithiasis and to build new methods of minimal invasive operation for hepatolithiasis. The validity, feasibility and limitations of the laparoscopic operation were assessed objectively through our clinical prospective study. The technique points, indications and contraindications were summarized to evaluate the status and role of minimal invasive laparoscopic operation in the treatment of hepatolithiasis.

Detailed description

Background: China is the high incidence area of hepatolithiasis. The development of minimal invasive techniques opened up a new situation for the treatment of hepatolithiasis, but it has not been widely applied. Intervention: Comparison of minimal invasive versus open operation for hepatolithiasis: a prospective randomized study. One hundred patients with early regional hepatolithiasis were selected and divided into laparoscopic operation group and open operation group randomly, each group contains 50 cases. Laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy or open regular hepatectomy were performed respectively, combined with cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration when necessary. The intraoperative ultrasound and choledochoscope were used selectively. Results: 1. Clinical data: previous operation history, operation time, intraoperative blood loss, volume of blood transfusion, complications and mortality, postoperative liver function, residual stones, recurrence rate, long-term curative effect and survival time were collected and analysed. 2. Statistical method: univariate/multivariate analysis, logistic regression analysis, mixed linear regression, Cox survival analysis were used.

Interventions

Fifty patients with early regional hepatolithiasis were selected and divided into laparoscopic hepatectomy group as described in the detailed description. Total laparoscopic anatomical hepatectomy were performed, combined with cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration when necessary. The intraoperative ultrasound, choledochoscope and hepatic segmental staining were used selectively.

Fifty patients with early regional hepatolithiasis were selected and divided into open group as described in the detailed description. The traditional open regular hepatectomy were performed, combined with cholecystectomy and bile duct exploration when necessary. The intraoperative ultrasound and choledochoscope were used selectively.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants with residual stones or cholangitis symptomsup to 5 years postoperationLiver function, recurrence rate, cholangitis symptoms, quality of life and survival time were collected and analysed to evaluate the postoperative curative effect. The follow up interval time: every six months.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of participants with operation complicationDuration hospitalization(an expected average of 2 weeks) to 2 months postoperationOperation time, intraoperative blood loss, volume of blood transfusion, complications and mortality, postoperative liver function, residual stones were collected and analysed to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the operation.
