ObjectiveTo explore the effect of the surgery with laparoscope combined with choledochoscope on plateau hepatic hydatid biliary fistulas. MethodsA total of 100 patients with liver hydatid disease diagnosed between January 2012 and June 2013 were divided into two groups according to the admitting time:laparoscope combined with choledochoscope group (combined group) and laparoscope group, with 50 patients in each group. The therapeutic results of the two groups were compared. ResultsA total of 186 biliary fistulas were found in the combined group during the operation, and there were 5 patients with biliary fistulas after the surgery; while 87 biliary fistulas were found in laparoscope group during the operation and there were 16 patients with biliary fistulas after the surgery. The difference in the occurrence rate of biliary fistulas after surgery between the two groups was significant (χ2=7.294, P=0.007). No infection of incisional wound was found in combined group but 5 infection was found in laparoscope group. The postoperative extubation time in the combined group and laparoscope group was (10.35±3.87) and (27.16±4.58) days, respectively, with a significant difference (t=12.538, P<0.001). ConclusionThe laparoscope combined with choledochoscope is a minimally invasive and safe therapeutic option for plateau hepatic hydatid biliary fistulas.
