Injury of the gallbladder beds on the liver during laparoscopic cholecystectomy of 178 cases for the last year waas analysed. Reoperations in 6 cases with one death due to major postoperative complications. These injuries could be classified into 3 degrees according to extent of liver parenchyma denuded in the bed . Degree Ⅰ, no liver was denuded in the bed with the fibromembranous lining intact (49 cases);Degree Ⅱ, liver denuded area was less than one half of the bed (90 cases);Degree Ⅲ, liver denuded area was greater than half of the bed ( 39 cases). There was close relationship between grade of the bed injury and the postoperative complication. Leaving the lining intact of the bed was most important during the lapatoscopic cholecystectomy in order to prevent complication from the bed. The method was discussed. Drainage of the subhapatic space was suggested when liver bed is denuded.
Objective To explore the prevention and treatment of injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein in laparoecopic cholecystectomy. Methods The clinical data of 27 hemorrhage cases of injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein in laparoscopic cholecystectomy from January 2008 to January 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 27 hemorrhage cases were successfully stopped bleeding under laparoscopy by the way of packing hemostasis （n=17）, clamping hemostasis （n=6）, and suturing hemostasis （n=4）. In the 3 hemostasis methods, the operating time and amout of bleeding in the cases with packing hemostasis was the shortest and the least, respectively, which was （90.26±12.46） min and （240.32±80.15）ml, respectively, but the differences of the 3 methods were not statistical significance （P＞0.05）. Conclusions During laparoscopic cholecystectomy, gallbladder bed should be seperated in the correct plane to avoid injury to brangches of the middle hepatic vein. The most important to ensure surgery safety is applying the right surgical hemostasis method to stop bleeding quickly, and the open surgery will be the first choice in the right time when the difficult hemostasis occurs under laparoscopy.
