Hepatolithiasis, a rare condition in Singapore, requires multiple imaging techniques for diagnosis. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment, leading to positive outcomes despite potential complications.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Hepatolithiasis is an uncommon condition in Singapore.
  • A review of 12 cases treated between 1995 and 2000 was conducted.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the clinical characteristics, diagnostic methods, and treatment outcomes of hepatolithiasis.
  • To highlight the challenges and effectiveness of managing this rare biliary disease.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 12 hepatolithiasis cases.
  • Analysis of clinical presentation, diagnostic imaging (ultrasound, CT, cholangiography), surgical procedures, and patient follow-up.

Main Results:

  • Patients aged 28-82, with a 5:7 male to female ratio.

  • Common symptoms included upper abdominal pain and cholangitis; diagnosis often required multiple imaging modalities.
  • Surgical options included biliary bypass, hepatic resection, or combined procedures, with generally good recovery and no operative mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Hepatolithiasis is rare in Singapore, necessitating comprehensive diagnostic imaging.
    • Surgery is the definitive treatment, with good outcomes achievable.
    • Potential complications include abscess, stricture, and stone recurrence.
