Isolated intrahepatic lithiasis, a rare condition, was treated using Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. This surgical approach enabled periodic cleaning, leading to the complete elimination of intrahepatic bile duct stones.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatobiliary surgery
  • Gastroenterology
  • Digestive diseases

Background:

  • Isolated intrahepatic lithiasis is exceptionally rare in Western populations.
  • The exact pathogenesis of intrahepatic stones remains largely unknown.
  • Altered bile composition is hypothesized to promote lithogenesis.

Observation:

  • A rare case of isolated intrahepatic lithiasis was documented.
  • The patient presented with stones within the intrahepatic bile ducts.
  • This case adds to the limited number of reported instances in medical literature.

Findings:

  • Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy with a cutaneous stoma was performed.
  • This surgical technique facilitated periodic cleaning of the intrahepatic bile ducts.

  • Complete elimination of intrahepatic stones was achieved through this intervention.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights a viable surgical strategy for managing rare intrahepatic lithiasis.
    • The findings support the efficacy of surgical duct clearance in selected cases.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis and optimal management of intrahepatic stones is warranted.
