Twelve patients with multiple vavices were found adjacent to the common bile duct during cholecystectomy and exploration of the common blie duct in the presence of stones. Eleven of them were with cirrhosis. The authors recommend that retrograde cholecystecotomy, or partial cholecystestomy with electrical cauterization of the remaining gallbladder mucosa ,or even cholecystostomy be the optimal selection in the presence of a large venous channel in calot’s triangle. Multiple fine-needle puncture of the bile duct can be performed over the vascullar area until bile is aspirated; extracting the choledocholith from a transduodenal sphincterotomy is another selective maneuver; and if bleeding occurs, suturing for hemostasis can be placed on the connective tissue over both sides of the lacerated vessel instead of the wall of varices.
Objective To introduce the clinical significance and pathophysiologic aspects of the circulatory and cardiac complications in terminal stage cirrhosis. Methods Recently relevant literatures were reviewed and summarized. Results Haemodynamic changes in cirrhosis arose on the basis of combined humoral and nervous dysregulation, with abnormalities in cardiovascular regulation, volume distribution and cardiac performance. Conclusion Comprehending the mechanisms of cardiovascular complications will contribute a lot for the treatment of terminal stage cirrhosis.
目的 交流断流术加脾肾分流术联合治疗门静脉高压症的体会。方法 对我院1994～2000年采用断流术加脾肾分流术联合治疗的12例门静脉高压症患者资料进行回顾性总结与分析。结果 全组病例均获随访，除1例在术后15个月因肝癌死亡外，其余11例均健在，其中10例生活质量良好，并恢复原来工作，生存时间最短15个月，最长8年，中位生存时间4年。术后均无出血和肝性脑病发生。结论 应用联合术治疗门静脉高压症避免了单一断流术、分流术及脾切除术的缺点，具有术后再出血率低，患者生存质量高及远期生存率高等优点，是一种理想的术式。
Objective To study the diagnosis and treatment of portal hypertension in secondary biliary cirrhosis(PHSBC). MethodsTwenty-five cases of PHSBC within recent 16 years in our hospital were analyzed. Their clinical, pathological and follow-up data were reviewed retrospectively. They were divided into 4 groups according to their primary diseases:13 patients with hepatolithiasis, 6 with postoperative stricture of biliary duct, 4 with malignancy of biliary duct and 2 with others.Results All patients were diagnosed clinically, and 4 were further pathologically confirmed. Eight cases were treated conservatively, while the remaining 17 underwent operations according to their primary diseases, and one combined with splenectomy and esophagogastric devascularization. The rate of discharge with improvement by surgical and non-surgical treatment was 64.7% and 37.5%, and hospital mortality was 17.6% and 12.5% respectively. Conclusion The diagnosis of PHSBC mainly depends on its characteristic clinical manifestations. The early surgical resolution of bile duct obstruction is the key to good prognosis. If complicated with rupture and hemorrhage of oesophagofundal varices, the surgical procedure should be considered carefully.
【摘要】目的 探讨肝硬变门静脉高压症患者术前肝脏备功能的评估方法。方法 用Logistic多元回归法分析了78例门静脉高压症行断流术患者术后出现肝功能不全的相关因素，从中筛选与肝功不全关系最密切的危险因子。结果 术后发生肝功不全影响最大的因素依次为： 肝性脑病（EN）、血浆吲哚氰绿潴留试验（ICGR15 min）及门静脉充血指数（PCI）等，而术前的血清总胆红素（TBIL）、白蛋白（A）、凝血酶原时间（PT）、门静脉内径（dp）、门静脉流速（Vp）及门静脉流量（Qp）等因素，在多元回归中所占比例不大。结论 综合分析术前患者临床指标和肝功能实验室检查有助于评价肝硬变患者肝储备功能，预测手术风险及术后转归。
ObjectiveTo investigate the application value of totally laparoscopic associating liver tourniquet and portal ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALTPS) using the anterior approach technique for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with hepatitis B cirrhosis. MethodsIn September, 2014, a patient suffered cirrhotic hepatocellular carcinoma in the right liver scheduled for two-stage liver resection, in whom the future liver remnant (FLR) was considered too small (FLR/standard liver volume:29.1%, FLR/body wight:0.49%). In the first stage, using totally laparoscopic technique, a tourniquet was placed around the parenchymal transection line on the Cantlie's line via an anterior approach through retrohepatic tunnel for staged right hepatectomy, and the right portal vein was ligated. In the second stage, totally laparoscopic right hemihepatectomy was carried out on 10 days after the first-stage operation that achieved sufficient hypertrophy of the FLR. ResultsThe FLR on postoperative day 4 of the first stage increased from 301.48 to 496.45 mL (FLR/standard liver volume:47.9%, FLR/body wight:0.81%), with a 64.67% hypertrophy. And the FLR on postoperative day 8 of the first stage increased to 510.96 mL (FLR/standard liver volume:49.3%, FLR/body wight:0.84%), with a 69.48% hypertrophy. The remnant liver volume on postoperative day 5 of the second stage increased to 704.53 mL. The duration of the first stage was 180 min, intraoperative blood loss was 50 mL, and patient did not received a blood transfusion. The duration of the second stage was 220 min, intraoperative blood loss was 400 mL, and patient did not required a blood transfusion. No serious complications happened. The patient was discharged on 7 days after the second stage. ConclusionsAs a effective, safe, simple, and "non-touch" technique which provided a less aggressive modification of the ALPPS procedureto achieve oncological efficacy, the totally laparoscopic ALTPS using the anterior approach technique also could achieve sufficient hypertrophy of the FLR in several days. A proper expansion of the indications for the procedure is safe and feasible in HCC patients with cirrhosis.
Objective The usefulness of measurement of nuclear DNA content elevation for diagnosis of early hepatocellular carcinoma was evaluated by a study of 186 patients with liver cirrhosis. Methods Nuclear DNA content was measured using an automatic image analysis system.Results ①Hepatocellular carcinoma was found in 37 patients during 10 years follow-up, the cumulative incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 19.89%. ②The incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma increased with the increase of the patterns of α-fetoprotein (AFP), 5c exceeding rate (5cER), FORM PE, but positive predictive value of 5cER was the highest of three parameters, the difference among all groups was significant by the χ2 test (Ｐ＜0.05). ③When 5cER joined AFP for monitoring development of hepatocellular carcinoma, the incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma was 72.00%, which was significantly higher than that of 5cER or AFP alone, the difference between groups was highly significant (Ｐ＜0.01). Conclusion Patients who had 5cER levels of 3%-5% or more, who had transient increases in 5cER or who had both, should be treated as being in a super-highrisk group for hepatocellular carcinoma. Frequent and careful examination by ultrasonography of such patients is recommended. It is important that measurement of 5cER join with AFP in cirrhotic patients monitored for early development of hepatocellular carcinoma.
ObjectiveTo introduce the technique of threedimensional portal venography of multidetector row spiral CT and its clinical application in the evaluation of the portosystemic collateral shunts of liver cirrhosis. MethodsAll relevant literatures were retrospectively reviewed on the application of twodimensional and threedimensional reconstruction techniques such as MIP, SSD, VRT of multidetector row spiral CT to demonstrate the collateral vessels of liver cirrhosis.ResultsThe distribution, pathway and anatomy of portosystemic collateral vessels were well shown by multidetector row spiral CT portal venography. Conclusion Multidetector row spiral CT portal venography provides excellent depiction of the anatomic characteristics of the collateral shunts and enables the continuous tracing of vascular structures, thus it is very helpful in the imaging evaluation of the collateral vessels of liver cirrhosis.
