Nineteen patients were treated over a 26-year period. Group one was comprised of 4 patients in whom the injury was primarily repaired during the original surgery; 3 over a T-tube, 1 with a Roux-en-Y. These patients had an uneventful recovery. The second group consisted of 5 patients in whom the duct was ligated; 4 developed infection, 3 of which required drainage and biliary repair. Two patients had good long-term outcomes; the third developed a late anastomotic stricture requiring further surgery. The fourth patient developed a small bile leak and pain which resolved spontaneously. The fifth patient developed complications from which he died. The third group was comprised of 4 patients referred with biliary peritonitis; all underwent drainage and lavage, and developed biliary fistulae, 3 of which resolved spontaneously, 1 required Roux-en-γ repair, with favorable outcomes. The fourth group consisted of 6 patients with biliary fistulae. Two patients, both with an 8-wk history of a fistula, underwent Roux-en-γ repair. Two others also underwent a Roux-en-γ repair, as their fistulae showed no signs of closure. The remaining 2 patients had spontaneous closure of their biliary fistulae. A primary repair is a reasonable alternative to ligature of injured duct. Patients with ligated ducts may develop complications. Infected ducts require further surgery. Patients with biliary peritonitis must be treated with drainage and lavage. There is a 50% chance that a biliary fistula will close spontaneously. In cases where the biliary fistula does not close within 6 to 8 wk, a Roux-en-γ anastomosis should be considered.展开更多

METHODS Eight patients with carcinoma of the maxillary sinus underwent a modified midfacial degloving operation. The tumors were classified according to the 2002 AJCC system. The TNM staging of the cases was as follows: 1 T4aN0M0, 2 T3N0M0 and 5 T2N0M0. Of the 8 cases, 1 patient underwent extended maxillectomy; exenteration of the orbit; tumorectomy of the sphenomaxillary and infratemporal fossae. Two patients received a total maxillectomy, and 5 a partial resection of the maxilla. Postoperative pathological report: 4 well-differentiated squamous carcinoma, 2 moderately-differentiated squamous carcinoma, 1 mucoepidermoid carcinoma and 1 adenoid cystic carcinoma.RESULTS A modified midfacial degloving operation can sufficiently expose a field of operation, resect the tumor within a safe margin, and leave no facial cicatricles. One patient died of intracranial metastasis 8 months after operation. We observed no recurrences or metastasis in other patients during the period of follow-up.CONCLUSION The major advantages of employing the modified midfacial degloving in maxillectomy is that a facial incision can be avoided. It has an advantage of minimal invasive surgery展开更多
