Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic common bile duct exploration (LCBDE) is commonly used for hepatolithiasis and/or choledocholithiasis, but the ideal method for common bile duct closure remains uncertain, especially for elderly patients (≥65 years). This study compared outcomes of primary closure versus T-tube drainage following LCBDE in elderly patients.

Methods: Data from elderly patients undergoing LCBDE for hepatolithiasis and/or choledocholithiasis between May 2016 and December 2020 at two Vietnamese hospitals were analyzed. Patients were divided into groups A (T-tube drainage, n = 52) and B (primary closure, n = 57). Propensity score matching (PSM) was utilized to adjust for baseline characteristics, comparing short- and long-term outcomes between groups.

Results: PSM yielded 56 matched patients. Pre-PSM, group A had longer operating times and hospital stays than Group B (p = 0.001). Group A had higher postoperative complications (17.9 % vs. 7.1 %) but was not statistically significant (p = 0.422). Group A also had more complex biliary stones. Post-PSM, Group B maintained shorter operating times and hospital stays. Regarding long-term results, stone recurrence rates were similar (5.8 % vs. 3.5 %, p = 0.668).

Conclusion: Primary closure following LCBDE is a safe and effective alternative to T-tube drainage for treating hepatolithiasis and/or choledocholithiasis in elderly patients.

期刊介绍： HPB is an international forum for clinical, scientific and educational communication. Twelve issues a year bring the reader leading articles, expert reviews, original articles, images, editorials, and reader correspondence encompassing all aspects of benign and malignant hepatobiliary disease and its management. HPB features relevant aspects of clinical and translational research and practice. Specific areas of interest include HPB diseases encountered globally by clinical practitioners in this specialist field of gastrointestinal surgery. The journal addresses the challenges faced in the management of cancer involving the liver, biliary system and pancreas. While surgical oncology represents a large part of HPB practice, submission of manuscripts relating to liver and pancreas transplantation, the treatment of benign conditions such as acute and chronic pancreatitis, and those relating to hepatobiliary infection and inflammation are also welcomed. There will be a focus on developing a multidisciplinary approach to diagnosis and treatment with endoscopic and laparoscopic approaches, radiological interventions and surgical techniques being strongly represented. HPB welcomes submission of manuscripts in all these areas and in scientific focused research that has clear clinical relevance to HPB surgical practice. HPB aims to help its readers - surgeons, physicians, radiologists and basic scientists - to develop their knowledge and practice. HPB will be of interest to specialists involved in the management of hepatobiliary and pancreatic disease however will also inform those working in related fields. Abstracted and Indexed in: MEDLINE® EMBASE PubMed Science Citation Index Expanded Academic Search (EBSCO) HPB is owned by the International Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (IHPBA) and is also the official Journal of the American Hepato-Pancreato-Biliary Association (AHPBA), the Asian-Pacific Hepato Pancreatic Biliary Association (A-PHPBA) and the European-African Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary Association (E-AHPBA).
