BACKGROUND: Bariatric surgery patients may develop common bile duct stones, and the alterations in their anatomy present challenges in treating this condition. Methods such as laparoscopic bile duct exploration is impractical in many healthcare facilities, due to the absence of a choledochoscope. This study assesses the feasibility of laparoscopic exploration of the common bile duct using a disposable bronchoscope in these individuals. METHOD: The study involved 32 participants who had undergone gastric bypass surgery. These participants presented with both bile duct stones and bile ducts exceeding 8 mm in diameter, diagnosed through either MRCP or cholangiography conducted during the surgery. Stone extraction was carried out through either choledotomy or transcystic routes using a disposable bronchoscope and endoscopic baskets. RESULTS: The patients' ages ranged from 27 to 66 years, with a mean bile duct diameter of 11.6 mm (SD 3.1 mm). A 100% stone clearance rate was achieved for all patients. None of the patients required conversion to open surgery. No T-tubes were placed. One patient developed biloma and intra-abdominal abscesses, which were successfully treated with a percutaneous drain over the course of a week. No mortalities were recorded during the course of this study. CONCLUSION: Our study results demonstrate that laparoscopic bile duct exploration is both feasible and safe in patients who have undergone gastric bypass surgery. The utilization of a disposable bronchoscope emerges as a practical and cost-effective alternative to a choledochoscope in this procedure.
背景:减重手术患者可能会出现胆总管结石,其解剖结构的改变给治疗带来了挑战。由于缺乏胆管镜,许多医疗机构无法实施腹腔镜胆管探查术等方法。本研究评估了在这些患者中使用一次性支气管镜进行腹腔镜胆总管探查的可行性。
方法:该研究纳入了 32 名接受过胃旁路手术的参与者。这些参与者均经磁共振胰胆管成像(MRCP)或术中胆管造影术诊断为同时患有胆管结石和胆管直径超过 8mm。通过经胆囊管或经胆囊途径,使用一次性支气管镜和内镜篮,进行结石取出术。
结果:患者年龄 27-66 岁,平均胆管直径 11.6mm(SD 3.1mm)。所有患者的结石清除率均达到 100%。无患者需要转为开腹手术。未放置 T 型管。1 例患者发生胆漏和腹腔脓肿,经皮引流 1 周后成功治愈。本研究过程中无死亡病例。
结论:我们的研究结果表明,对于接受过胃旁路手术的患者,腹腔镜胆管探查术是可行且安全的。在该手术中,使用一次性支气管镜替代胆管镜具有实际意义且具有成本效益。
