Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Intrahepatic lithiasis, both primary and secondary, presents significant treatment challenges.
  • Surgical management requires careful consideration of patient factors and disease complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the outcomes of surgical interventions for primary and secondary intrahepatic lithiasis.
  • To assess the efficacy of various surgical techniques, including hepatectomy and endoscopic procedures.
  • To determine the long-term benefits of maintaining biliary tract access post-surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 9 patients with primary and 49 with secondary intrahepatic lithiasis treated between 1982 and 1993.
  • Surgical procedures included hepatectomy, lithotomy, hepatico-jejunostomy, cholangio-jejunostomy, papillosphincteroplasty, choledochoduodenostomy, and various endoscopic interventions (PTCS, PTKCS).

Main Results:

  • Primary intrahepatic lithiasis: No 30-day mortality; low morbidity (wound infection, bronchopulmonary complications). Long-term follow-up showed 1 cholangitis and 1 relapse.
  • Secondary intrahepatic lithiasis: Overall mortality of 1 patient. Morbidity included biliary fistulas, abscesses, bronchopulmonary complications, wound infections, and ileal perforation. Long-term follow-up revealed anastomosis stenosis, cholangitis relapses, and recurrent lithiasis.
  • Postoperative fiber cholangioscopy successfully treated 18 cases.

Conclusions:

  • Surgical management of intrahepatic lithiasis yields acceptable outcomes with careful technique selection.
  • Postoperative endoscopic interventions, particularly fiber cholangioscopy, are effective for managing residual or recurrent stones.
  • For cases not requiring hepatectomy due to monolateral lithiasis, maintaining biliary tract access is advisable for potential future interventions.
