Total Laparoscopic Resection of Hilar Cholangiocarcinoma Type 3b: Applying a Parachute Technique for Hepaticojejunostomy.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic liver resection for perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is still in its infancy. The biliary-enteric reconstruction represents one of the most delicate parts of this minimally invasive procedure.

Methods

In this study, a 78-year old woman with perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) type 3b underwent a hepaticojejunostomy performed by a parachute technique.

Results

The operation, performed totally by minimally invasive resections, was completed in 386 min, with a blood loss of less than 400 ml and no transfusion requirements. Two intraluminal stents were placed during the hepaticojenunostomy for splinting of the biliary-enteric anastomosis. The patient required prolonged antibiotic treatment for postoperative cholangitis and finally was discharged on postoperative day 15. The histopathologic grading displayed a G 2-3 adenocarcinoma, pT3 pN0, M0, L1, V1, pN1, UICC IIIc R0, and the patient was referred to adjuvant chemotherapy.

Conclusion

Resections of pCCAs, performed totally by minimally invasive techniques, may be feasible and safe for a selected group of patients. With this approach, a running-suture hepaticojejunostomy using the parachute technique represents a worthwhile strategy for biliary-enteric reconstruction.

Project description:BackgroundRadical resection remains the most effective treatment for hilar cholangiocarcinoma (HCCA). However, due to the complex anatomy of the hilar region, the tumor is prone to invade portal vein and hepatic arteries, making the surgical treatment of HCCA particularly difficult. Successful laparoscopic radical resection of HCCA(IIIA, IIIB) requires excellent surgical skills and rich experience. Furthermore, the safety and effectiveness of this operation are still controversial.AimTo retrospectively analyze and compare the efficacy and safety of laparoscopic and open surgery for patients with HCCA.MethodsClinical imaging and postoperative pathological data of 89 patients diagnosed with HCCA (IIIA, IIIB) and undergoing radical resection in our center from January 2018 to March 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Among them, 6 patients (4 were lost to follow-up and 2 were pathologically confirmed to have other diseases after surgery) were ruled out, and clinical data was collected from the remaining 83 patients for statistical analysis. These patients were divided into an open surgery group (n=62) and a laparoscopic surgery group (n=21) according to the surgical methods used, and after 1:2 propensity score matching (PSM), 32 and 16 patients respectively in the open surgery group and laparoscopic surgery group were remained. The demographic data, Bismuth type, perioperative data, intraoperative data, postoperative complications, pathological findings, and long-term survivals were compared between these two groups.ResultsAfter 1:2 PSM, 32 patients in the open surgery group and 16 patients in the laparoscopic surgery group were included for further analysis. Baseline characteristics and pathological outcomes were comparable between the two groups. Statistically significant differences between the two groups were observed in intraoperative blood loss and operative time, as it were 400-800 mL vs 200-400 mL (P=0.012) and (407.97 ± 76.06) min vs (489.69 ± 79.17) min (P=0.001) in the open surgery group and laparoscopic surgery group, respectively. The R0 resection rate of the open group was 28 cases (87.5%), and the R0 resection rate of the laparoscopic group was 15 cases (93.75%). The two groups showed no significant difference in terms of surgical approach, intraoperative blood transfusion, incidence of postoperative complications, and short- and long-term efficacy (P>0.05).ConclusionsLaparoscopic radical resection of HCCA has comparable perioperative safety compared to open surgery group, as it has less bleeding and shorter operation time. Although it is a promising procedure with the improvement of surgical skills and further accumulation of experience, further investigations are warranted before its wider application.

Project description:BackgroundExtended resection such as right trisegmentectomy combined with total caudate lobectomy with non-touch technique for advanced hilar cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is still challenging for all Hepato-pancreato-biliary surgeons.PresentationA 45-year-old female with advanced hilar CCA involved the right intrahepatic bile ducts in continuity with the left medial sectional bile duct without PV invasion had undergone right trisegmentectomy combined with total caudate lobectomy with non-touch technique. Dissection of the hepatic peduncle by Lorta-Jacob Procedure, ligation, and resection of the right hepatic artery (RHA) and the right portal vein (PV), before that determine whether portal bifurcation's tumor infiltration or not. Mobilization of the right liver lobe, ligate all the short hepatic veins from the caudal to cranial direction, as well as the right hepatic vein (RHV) and the middle hepatic vein (MHV). Complete caudate lobectomy with right-left approach. Determine hepatic parenchyma cut, left cholangiostomy to the division of the subsegments 2,3, stitch formation of the subsegments 2,3 bile duct. Determine negative upper section of the biliary tract. The operative time was 432 min, and the blood loss was 750 ml. Postoperative recovery was uneventful without any major complications but developed intra-abdominal abscess that required percutaneous drainage.DiscussionExtended resection procedures such as extend right/left trisectionectomy, hepato-pancreaticoduodenectomy (HPD) and/or combined vascular resection are only curative treatment for advanced hilar CCA. There hadn't been any reported cases describing step-by-step right trisegmentectomy combined with total caudate lobectomy with non-touch technique with clear illustrations and videos yet.ConclusionCareful preparation with preoperative biliary drainage as well as precise evaluation of the functional capacity of the future liver remnant, as well as meticulous experience of surgeons in hepatic anatomy and non-touch resection technique are key points for success in extended resection for advanced hilar CCA.
