On-Site Monitoring of Postoperative Bile Leakage Using Bilirubin-Inducible Fluorescent Protein.


ABSTRACT:

Background

Bile leakage is the most common postoperative complication associated with hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery. Until now, however, a rapid, accurate diagnostic method for monitoring intraoperative and postoperative bile leakage had not been established.

Method

Bilirubin levels in drained abdominal fluids collected from 23 patients who had undergone hepatectomy (n?=?22) or liver transplantation (n?=?1) were measured using a microplate reader with excitation/emission wavelengths of 497/527 nm after applying 5 µM of UnaG to the samples. UnaG was also sprayed directly on hepatic raw surfaces in swine hepatectomy models to identify bile leaks by fluorescence imaging.

Results

The bilirubin levels measured by UnaG fluorescence imaging showed favorable correlations with the results of the conventional light-absorptiometric methods (indirect bilirubin: rs?=?0.939, p?ConclusionFluorescence imaging techniques using UnaG may enable real-time identification of bile leaks during hepatectomy and on-site rapid diagnosis of bile leaks after surgery.
