ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
We developed laparoscopic transfistulous bile duct exploration (LTBDE) for Mirizzi syndrome (MS) McSherry type II in September 2011. Then, single-incision LTBDE (SILTBDE) was adopted as a preferred technique since August 2013. This retrospective study aims to analyze the outcome of LTBDE in 7.7 years and to compare SILTBDE with four-incision LTBDE (4ILTBDE).METHODS:
Seventeen consecutive patients underwent LTBDE for MS McSherry type II from September 2011 to May 2019. Transfistulous removal of the impacted stone(s), choledochoscopic bile duct exploration, and primary closure of the gallbladder remnant were performed without biliary drainage.RESULTS:
The sex ratio is 125 (male female) with an average age of 39.4 ± 10.3 (24-56) years. Ten patients (58.8%) had their diagnoses of MS established by preoperative imaging. According to the Csendes classification, three type II (17.6%), nine type III (52.9%), and five type IV (29.4%) were identified. The operative time was 264.8 ± 60.3 min (156-358 min). The stone clearance rate was 100%. The postoperative hospital stay was 4.7 ± 1.9 (2-10) days. No procedure was converted to an open operation. Two postoperative transient hyperamylasemia (11.8%) and one superficial wound infection (5.9%) occurred and all recovered well under conservative treatment (Clavien-Dindo grade I). During an average 2.2-year follow-up period, no biliary stricture or stone recurrence occurred. No significant difference exists between the SILTBDE and 4ILTBDE groups. Nevertheless, an insignificant trend of shorter postoperative hospital stay was observed in the former. A diagnosis of MS Csendes type IV implicates prolonged total and postoperative hospital stays (p < 0.01).CONCLUSIONS:
LTBDE is safe and efficacious for MS McSherry type II. It provides a simple solution for various types of MS and avoids undesirable complications following bilioenteric anastomosis. SILTBDE is comparable to 4ILTBDE for selected patients. Patients with MS Csendes type IV need more time to recover after surgery.Key words
