Postoperative infection of intrahepatic bile duct stones

  Patient: We had a cholecystectomy in Sichuan Huaxi West in June this year and had a T-tube put in, then the T-tube was blocked and a drainage tube was placed. Do I have to do a biliary-intestinal anastomosis in this case? I heard from the doctor that he is very prone to recurrence for several years after the surgery. If not, what should I do? We want to come to your hospital to find out what can be done and what tests should be done before we come?  Hepatobiliary Surgery Department, Hepatobiliary Hospital: I don’t know if there are still intrahepatic bile duct stones and if T-tube or drainage duct imaging has been done. If there is indeed “bile duct stenosis”, we need to clarify the specific location and extent of the stenosis, as well as the distribution of intrahepatic bile duct stones, the presence of hepatic lobe atrophy and splenomegaly in portal hypertension. Surgical release of the stricture and additional bile-intestinal anastomosis may be the only definitive treatment at present. Full imaging and other laboratory results can be brought to the hospital.
