RESUMO
Introducción. Existen diferentes abordajes terapéuticos para el manejo de los pacientes con diagnóstico o alta sospecha de colecistocoledocolitiasis. Estos incluyen procedimientos en uno o dos tiempos, que combinan las técnicas abiertas, laparoscópica y endoscópica. Se presenta nuestra experiencia con el manejo sincrónico –colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica más colecistectomía laparoscópica– de estos pacientes. Materiales y métodos. Se llevó a cabo un estudio descriptivo y retrospectivo en el cual se evaluó la seguridad del tratamiento de pacientes con alta sospecha o diagnóstico de colecistocoledocolitiasis, en quienes se practicaron procedimientos laparoscópico y endoscópico en un mismo tiempo quirúrgico, en el periodo comprendido entre octubre de 2008 y abril de 2012. Se utilizó estadística descriptiva y modelos de regresión logística, para el análisis de los datos recolectados. Resultados. En 105 pacientes se llevaron a cabo de forma exitosa ambos procedimientos. Requirieron conversión a cirugía abierta 15 pacientes (14,3 %). La morbilidad global fue del 18 %, representada por infecciones del sitio operatorio, sangrado, pancreatitis y coledocolitiasis residual. El promedio de duración del procedimiento fue de 109,5 minutos y el del tiempo de hospitalización fue de 4,7 días. No se presentaron muertes. Discusión. El manejo sincrónico de la colecistocoledocolitiasis es posible y seguro en nuestro medio. Su utilización depende de la disponibilidad del recurso técnico y humano. Hacen falta estudios comparativos que sustenten estos resultados.
Introduction: There are different therapeutic approaches for the management of patients with high suspicion or the diagnosis of concomitant gallbladder-bile duct stones.These can be either synchronous or sequential, combining open, laparoscopic and endoscopic techniques. We present our experience with single stage treatment of the aforementioned patients. Patients and methods: This is a descriptive and retrospective study evaluating the safety of treating patients with high suspicion / diagnosis of cholecystocholedocholitiasis, on whom laparoscopic and endoscopic procedures where performed as a single stage treatment during the period of October 2008 – April 2012. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used to analyses our data. Results: One hundred and five patients were successfully treated with the synchronous technique. Conversion to open surgery was necessary in 15 (14.3%) patients. Overall morbidity was 18%, including surgical site infections, bleeding, pancreatitis, and residual bile duct stones. Mean operative time was 109.5 minutes, and mean length of stay was 4.7 days. No deaths occurred. Discussion: Synchronous management of cholecystocholedocholithiasis is a safe alternative. Its use is conditioned to human and technical resources. Comparative studies are necessary to further support our results.

INTRODUCTION: Surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma remains a challenge. Multiple prognostic factors have been proposed. The number of positive nodes and the ratio between positive lymph node and total lymph node (G+/Gt) are considered by some authors as the most important factor. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed a series of 58 patients with Klatskin tumors. We evaluated the prognostic factors and survival with emphasis on the prognostic impact of the number of positive nodes and its relation to total lymph nodes. RESULTS: Resectability was 78% with a 5-year survival of 32%. The median number of nodes examined was 9.5. No significant differences were found in several of the proposed prognostic factors. The presence of 2 or more positive nodes or a ratio G+/Gt ≥ 0.2 were found to be poor prognostic factors. CONCLUSION: The relationship between positive lymph nodes and total lymph nodes and the number of positive lymph nodes are important prognostic factors.
