Biliary complications after hepatectomy decreased over ten years. The methylene blue test effectively reduced postoperative biliary leakage, unlike fibrin glue or cholangiography.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Complications
  • Medical Technology Assessment

Background:

  • Biliary complications post-hepatectomy pose significant risks, including sepsis, liver failure, and mortality.
  • Early detection and management of biliary injury are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
  • Investigating trends and interventions for biliary complications is essential for surgical practice advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the 10-year trend of biliary complications following hepatectomy.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of intraoperative measures in reducing postoperative biliary complications.
  • To compare the efficacy of methylene blue test, cholangiography, and fibrin glue application.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 616 hepatectomy patients (1989-1998).

  • Comparison of the first five-year period with the second five-year period.
  • Assessment of intraoperative interventions: methylene blue test, cholangiography, fibrin glue.

    • Main Results:

    • Hospital mortality significantly decreased from 10.6% to 3.3% in the second five-year period.
    • Postoperative biliary leakage rate reduced from 9.8% to 3.5%, with increased methylene blue test use.
    • Methylene blue test correlated with reduced biliary leakage (3.6% vs. 7.3%), while fibrin glue and cholangiography did not show significant impact.

    Conclusions:

    • Biliary complication rates after hepatectomy are decreasing over time.
    • The postresection methylene blue test is an effective measure for reducing postoperative biliary leakage.
    • Fibrin glue application and postresection cholangiography were not found to be effective in reducing biliary leakage in this study.
