Abstract

The current study is to evaluate the long-term efficacy of laparoscopic redo hepaticojejunostomy (LRH) for children with cholecochal cysts (CDCs). Between January 2006 and January 2016, 44 CDC children who had biliary re-obstructions after primary definitive surgeries successfully underwent LRH in our hospital. The hepatic arteries were repositioned behind Roux loop. Ductoplasties and wide hepaticojejunostomies were carried out. The operative time, postoperative recovery and complications were compared with our open redo hepaticojejunostomy (ORH, n = 16) between October 2001 and December 2005. There was no significant difference of age at surgery between two groups. Mean operative time in the LRH group was 2.32 h, which did not differ from 2.05 h in the ORH group (p = 0.11). Average postoperative hospital stay, resumption of full diet and duration of drainage in the LRH group were 5.47, 2.11 and 3.22 days, respectively, significantly shorter than 7.37, 3.31 and 4.50 days in our ORH group (p < 0.001, respectively). Median follow-up period was 48 months (1-120 months) in the LRH group and 140 months (120-170 months) in the ORH group. No recurrent biliary obstruction, cholangitis, intrahepatic stone formation or carcinoma were detected in either group. No blood transfusion was required in the LRH group, while one patient in ORH group required 3-day hemostatic treatment and blood transfusion for postoperative bleeding. In the LRH group, one patient suffered from bile leak and spontaneously cured after 7-day drainage. Two patients in the ORH group developed wound dehiscence and required surgical repairs. Overall morbidities were 2.3 % (1/44) in LRH group and significantly <18.8 % (3/16) in ORH group (p < 0.05). Liver function parameters normalized in both groups. In experienced hands, LRH does not necessarily require open surgery. Long-term results of the LRH group were comparable or even superior to those of the ORH group.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 30 April 2016.
All research outputs
#20,323,943
of 22,867,327 outputs
Outputs from Surgical Endoscopy
#5,659
of 6,050 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,378
of 299,116 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Surgical Endoscopy
#112
of 129 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,867,327 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,050 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 299,116 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 129 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
