Spontaneous perforation of the left intrahepatic bile duct is extremely rare, especially in adults. Here, we report on a case of a 64-year-old woman who had a complaint of right upper abdominal pain for 10 days, which gradually progressed to entire abdominal pain for 3 days, and was admitted to our hospital. Relevant examinations revealed she had a normal cardiac and lung workup, but an obvious abnormal abdominal computed tomography examination, which revealed an enlarged gallbladder, choledocholithiasis with dilatation of the common bile duct (1.8 cm) and intrahepatic bile duct, and a lot of encapsulated ascites. After being given adequate fluid resuscitation and active preoperative preparation, cholecystectomy and common bile duct exploration and perforation repair operation were then performed. The postoperative course was uneventful, and she was discharged with the T-tube in situ. A choledochoscopy examination at week 6 showed the conditions of the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile duct were good. For these patients, early diagnosis and surgical treatment are essential for good prognosis. The goal of our surgery is to stop bile leakage, resolve choledocholithiasis and cholangitis, and reconstruct the bile duct.

Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) had become one of the main options for management of choledocholithiasis. This retrospective comparative study aimed to evaluate on the feasibility and advantages of primary closure versus conventional T-tube drainage of the common bile duct (CBD) after laparoscopic choledochotomy. In this retrospective analysis, 100 patients (47 men and 53 women) with choledocholithiasis who underwent primary closure of the CBD (without T-tube drainage) after LCBDE (Group A) were compared with 92 patients who underwent LCBDE with T-tube drainage (Group B). Both groups were evaluated with regard to biliary complications, hospital stay, and recurrence of stones. The mean operation time was 104.12 minutes for Group A and 108.92 minutes for Group B ( P = 0.069). The hospital stay was significantly shorter in Group A than that in Group B (6.95 days and 12.05 days, respectively; P < 0.001). In Group A, bile leakage occurred in two patients on postoperative Day 2 and Day 3, respectively. In Group B, bile leakage noted in one patient after removal of the T-tube on Day 14 after operation ( P = 1.000). With a median follow-up time of 40 months for both groups, stone recurrence was noted in two patients in Group A and three patients in Group B ( P = 0.672). Primary closure of the CBD is safe and feasible in selected patients after laparoscopic choledochotomy. It results in shorter duration of hospital stay without the need for carrying/care of a T-tube in the postoperative period and similar stone recurrence as that of the conventional method.

Conventionally, patients suffered from recurrent common bile duct (CBD) stone after cholecystectomy are suggested to be treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography. This study was designed to explore the feasibility of laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) as a salvage procedure for recurrent CBD calculi after cholecystectomy. A retrospective review was conducted of data from 65 patients who underwent LCBDE for recurrent CBD calculi after cholecystectomy from January 2011 to July 2015. LCBDE was successfully carried out in 61 cases, with a successful rate of 93.8 per cent. Three cases required open conversion because of serious abdominal adhesion, and one case for intraoperative bleeding. Postoperative bile leakage occurred in two cases, and bile peritonitis developed in one case; all these three patients with complications were fully cured by conservative treatment. A postoperative retained CBD stone was found in one patient, which was extracted with endoscopic sphincterotomy. Furthermore, it was found that the mean operative time and length of postoperative hospital stay were much shorter in primary closure group (n = 49) than in T-tube drainage group (n = 12), and the hospital expense was also lower in primary closure group. We suggest that LCBDE could be a novel approach as a salvage procedure for the recurrent CBD stone after cholecystectomy, and we prefer to intraoperative primary closure of CBD if possible.
