Brief Summary

Residual and recurrent stones remain one of the most important challenges of hepatolithiasis which is reported in 20% to 50% of patients treated with these therapies. Up to now the most two common surgical procedures performed were choledochojejunostomy and T tube drainage as biliary drainage in hepatolithiasis. The goal of the present study was to evaluate the therapeutic safety, and perioperative and long-term outcomes of choledochojejunostomy versus T tube drainage for hepatolithiasis with sphincter of Oddi laxity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • stone recurrence rate

    A recurrence stone was defined as a stone detected more than 3 months after surgery by any diagnostic method. (%)

    3 years

  • biliary stricturer rate

    Biliary stricture defined as clinically evident stenosis and subclinical stenosis proved by endoscopic examination or reoperation (%)

    3 years

  • Cholangitis rate

    The diagnosis of cholangitis is based on clinically evident (abdominal discomfort/pain, jaundice or fever associated with hepatolithiasis (%)

    3 years

Secondary Outcomes (5)

  • sphincter of oddi function

    an expected average of 120 minutes

  • Mortality

    90 days

  • Biliary leakage

    90 days

  • total bilirubin

    90 days

  • quality of life grading

    3 years

Study Arms (2)

T-tube drainage

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The T-tube was placed for biliary drainage

Procedure: T-tube drainage

Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy

EXPERIMENTAL

biliary-enteric anastomosis was performed

Procedure: Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy

Interventions

The common hepatic duct was cut and the duodenal side is closed by suture. The small intestine was cut off 15 cm below the ligament of Treitz. The distal end was lifted, and a 1-2 cm incision was made at the jejunal wall 4-5 cm from the jejunal stump. The anastomosis is used a 5-0 PSD Ⅱ suture, with double needles, inside-out in the jejunum and outside-in in the hepatic duct. One side of needles was used to continuely penetrate and suture the whole layer of the posterior-lateral wall of the jejunum, the posterior-lateral wall of the biliary duct, and the other side of needles was used to continuely stuere the anterior part of the anastomosis. Mucosa-to-mucosa contact should be ensured with every stitch.The anastomotic stomas were then checked for leakage. Enteric-enteric anastomosis was performed 60 cm below the site of the hepatojejunal anastomosis.

Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy

The T-tube was placed for biliary drainage and the common bile duct was intermittently sutured with 4-0 vicryl sutures.
