Endoscopic interventions via DBE in these postoperative settings remain difficult because of the lack of an elevator and the use of extra-long ERCP accessories. Here, we report the usefulness of direct cholangioscopy with an ultra-slim gastroscope during DBE-assisted ERCP. Three patients with choledocholithiasis in postoperative settings (two patients after Billroth Ⅱ gastrojejunostomy and one patient after Roux-en-Y gastrojejunostomy) were treated. DBE was used to gain access to the papilla under carbon dioxide insufflation, and endoscopic sphincterotomy was performed with a conventional sphincterotome. For direct cholangioscopy, the enteroscope was exchanged for an ultra-slim gastroscope through an incision in the overtube, which was inserted directly into the bile duct. Direct cholangioscopy was used to extract retained bile duct stones in two cases and to confirm the complete clearance of stones in one case. Bile duct stones were eliminated with a 5-Fr basket catheter under direct visual control. No adverse events were noted in any of the three cases. Direct cholangioscopy with an ultra-slim gastroscope facilitates subsequent treatment within the bile duct. This procedure represents another potential option during DBE-assisted ERCP.展开更多

Methods: The clinical, imaging, and pathological data of 18 patients with liver cystadenocarcinoma between January 2000 and December 2004 in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Results: The liver cystadeno- carcinoma was seen in males and females (m/f: 9/9); mean age was 51 years. Ultrasonography revealed cystic parenchymatous mass echoes of fluid predominance with uneven margins. Nonenhanced CT revealed intrahepatic low-density space occupying shadows with nodular protrusions on the margins in all cases. Enhancement CT revealed that part of the nodular protrusions and tissues around the lesions were enhanced and the delayed phase disappeared. 66.67% (12/18) of the lesions were more than 10 cm in diameter. The diagnosis of liver cystadenocarcinoma was confirmed by postoperative pathology in all cases. Of these patients, 12 lesions were in the left lobe, 3 in the right lobe, 1 in the mid lobe, 1 in the right and left lobe, and 1 in the caudate lobe. Of tile 18 patients, 6 had completely resect the cystadenocarcinoma, 2 were surgically explored, one received TAE+fine needle aspiration cytology+injection of chemotherapy drugs, and 9 underwent radical hepatectomy+choledochostomy or T-tube drainage, in which, one patient underwent choledochostomy+left hepatectomy+radical gastrectomy for cancer+lymphadenectomy; one patient underwent resection of the cystadenocarcinoma, who had relapse 20 months after the initial procedure. The patient received repeat reseet for the recurrent cystadenoeareinoma+eholangio-jejunostomy. Six months later she had another relapse and received repeat reseet (only PMCT) for the recurrent cystadenoearcinoma. The patient died from eholangiopleural fistula after third time operation (PMCT) was attempted perioperatively. Seven patients died of metastatic disease after operation. The remaining 10 patients were alive without cancer recurrence or metastasis (mean follow-up 20 months). Conclusion: Liver eystadenocarcinoma is rarely seen and grows slowly. It shows some typical clinical and imaging features. The crux for diagnosing and treating liver cystadenoeareinoma is how familiar the surgeon is with the pathology and clinical features of the condition. Prolonged survival can be achieved by radical resection of the tumor.展开更多

METHODS A total of 55 patients with pathologically and clini- cally verified extrahepatic bile duct cancer treated in our depart- ment between January 1984 and December 1993 were retrospec- tively analyzed.Clinical courses with respect to the surgical pro- cedures employed and the survival period of these patients were followed up and compared. RESLUTS Of these patients,24 involved the upper third of ex- trahepatic biliary tract,12 the middle third,and 19 the lower third.Diagnosis of bile duct cancer was confirmed histopatholo- gically in 42 patients,with a clear predominance of adenocarcino- ma(97.6 percent).Eleven(26.2 percent)patients received cu- rative resection;30 received palliative procedures,i.e.,biliary- enteric bypass(n=14)and external drainage(n=16);6 re- ceived permanent PTCD alone and 8 received exploratory laparo- tomy only or conservative treatment.Forty-eight patients(87.3 percent)were followedup.The overall mean survival period was 10.8±9.7months(±s);patients with curative resection had the longest survival period(21.4±16.7 months,±s,P<0. 01)and highest survival rate(P<0.05);a significant survival difference was observed in patients with biliary-enteric anastomo- sis compared with those with external drainage,ect.(P<0. 05);but there was no significant difference in survival period be- tween patients having PTCD(n=23)and not(n=26)prior to surgery(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Curactive resection is the treatment of choice for suitable patients with extrahepatic bile duct cancer;biliary-en- teric anastomosis is preferable in those with unresectable tumor in order to improve the prognosis and quality of life.展开更多

Based on clinical and histopathologic findings, autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) was diagnosed. The renal tumor was diagnosed as a renal cell cancer. Steroid therapy was started and thereafter pancreatic inflammation improved. Five years after surgery, the patient was readmitted because of pyrexia in a preshock state. A Klebsiella pneumoniae liver abscess complicated by sepsis was diagnosed. The patient recovered with percutaneous abscess drainage and administration of intravenous antibiotics. Liver abscess recurred 1 mo later but was successfully treated with antibiotics. There has been little information on long-term outcomes of patients with AIP treated with surgery. To our knowledge, this is the second case of liver abscess after surgical treatment of AIP.展开更多

Clinical data were reviewed retrospectively.Results Ten patients remained alive in the Group A. Among them, 9 survived without jaundice, the oldest one being 9-years old. One of the 9 patients had portal hypertension. The remaining one who survived with jaundice and portal hypertension was 8-years old at follow up. Ten patients in the Group B remained alive. Of them, 8 survived without jaundice and 2 with jaundice.Conclusions Two surgical procedures had similar effects in preventing reflux cholangitis, while spur valve has the benefit of quitting cutaneous enterostomy.展开更多
