    Summary

    Intrahepatic stones, a subset of gallstones, require tailored surgical approaches. Hepatectomy offers a radical solution for these challenging cases, leading to good prognoses in most patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical pathology

    Context:

    • A retrospective analysis of 3,036 gallstone cases (1968-1983) identified 154 intrahepatic stones (5.1%).
    • Intrahepatic stones present unique diagnostic and management challenges, often associated with congenital bile duct anomalies like Caroli's disease.
    • Classification of intrahepatic stones relies on radiographic imaging to determine formation patterns and guide treatment strategies.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and outcomes of surgical management for intrahepatic gallstones.
    • To assess the role of hepatectomy as a radical surgical option for intrahepatic stones.
    • To analyze factors influencing prognosis and recurrence in patients with intrahepatic stones.

    Summary:

    • Hepatectomy was performed in 49 of 154 intrahepatic stone cases, with no operative mortality.

  • This radical surgical approach was found to shorten the therapeutic period.
  • Good prognosis was observed in 41 cases; however, 6 cases had poor outcomes, including stone recurrence, residual stones, and cholangitis. Two deaths occurred post-operatively.

    • Impact:

    • Hepatectomy provides a definitive treatment for intrahepatic stones, improving patient outcomes.
    • Understanding stone formation modes is crucial for selecting appropriate surgical interventions.
    • This study highlights the importance of considering hepatectomy for complex intrahepatic stone disease to achieve favorable long-term results.
