Abstract:
Objective To investigate the influencing factors for textbook outcome (TO) after hepatectomy for hepatolithiasis.
Methods Theretrospective case‐control study was conducted.The clinicopathological data of 216 patients with hepatolithiasis who were admitted to The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from January 2015 to March 2023 were collected. There were 69 males and 147 females, aged 61(range, 22?85)years. Observation indicators:(1) treatment situations; (2) TO after hepatectomy; (3) Influencing factors for TO after hepatectomy. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as
Mean±
SD. Measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as
M(range). Count data were expressed as absolute numbers. Logistic regression models were used for univariate and multifactorial analyses.
Results (1) Treatment situations. All the 216 patients underwent hepatectomy, including 45 cases of laparoscopic hepatec‐tomies and 171 cases of open hepatectomies, 161 cases of anatomical hepatectomies and 55 cases of non‐anatomical hepatectomies. All the 216 patients underwent intraoperative choledochoscopy exploration and lithotripsy. There were 170 patients with normal Oddi sphincter function and 46 patients with Oddi sphincter dysfunction. All the 216 patients underwent biliary drainage, including 198 cases of external T‐tube drainage and 18 cases of internal bile‐intestinal drainage. The operation time was (226±75)minutes and volume of intraoperative blood loss was (106±82)mL. There were 29 patients with perioperative blood transfusion and 14 patients with intraoperative severe adverse events. There were 189 patients achieved immediate stone clearance. Of 183 patients with intraoperative bile cultures, 76 cases were positive for bacteria culture. (2) TO after hepatectomy. Of 216 patients, 93 cases had postoperative complications, all of which were successfully discharged after active treatment. One patient had surgery‐related death within 90 days after surgery, and the cause of death was liver failure. Five patients were readmitted within 90 days after surgery, and 18 patients had postoperative stone residual. Of 216 patients, 164 cases achieved TO postoperatively and 52 cases did not achieve TO postoperatively. (3) Influencing factors for TO after hepatectomy.Results of multivariate analysis showed that cholangitis, stone distribution, surgical approaches, ana‐tomical hepatectomy, immediate stone removal and postoperative review of choledochoscopy were independent influencing factors for TO after hepatectomy in patients with hepatolithiasis (
P<0.05).
Conclusion Cholangitis, stone distribution, surgical approaches, anatomical hepatectomy, immediate stone removal and postoperative review of choledochoscopy are independent influencing factors for TO after hepatectomy in patients with hepatolithiasis.
