Summary
This study analyzed 202 patients with gallstones and complications, focusing on hepatic insufficiency (HI) stages. Surgical outcomes reveal varying mortality rates across HI severity, highlighting the need for careful management in advanced stages.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Hepatology
- Surgical Management of Biliary Disease
Context:
- Cholelithic disease and its complications pose significant clinical challenges.
- Hepatic insufficiency (HI) is a critical complication impacting patient outcomes.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes of patients with cholelithic disease and hepatic insufficiency.
- To assess the impact of different stages of hepatic insufficiency on surgical treatment and mortality.
Summary:
- A cohort of 202 patients with cholelithic disease was treated, with 135 presenting with jaundice and hepatic insufficiency.
- Hepatic insufficiency was categorized into compensated (50.4%), subcompensated (28.1%), decompensated (18.5%), and terminal (3%) stages.
- Surgical intervention, primarily cholecystectomy, was performed in 70.3% of patients, with common bile duct procedures in 41.5%.
Impact:
- Surgical outcomes varied significantly with the stage of hepatic insufficiency, indicating higher mortality in decompensated and terminal HI.
- These findings underscore the importance of assessing hepatic function preoperatively for optimizing surgical strategies in complicated gallstone disease.
