Résumé

This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and complications of secondary hepatolithiasis following choledochoenterostomy to guide suitable management. The study analyzed 127 patients from a 2017 national survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. The 2023 cohort study assessed residual stones, recurrences, cholangitis, cholangiocarcinoma, and prognosis. The median follow-up duration was 48 months. Balloon endoscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (BE-ERC) was the most common treatment, achieving complete stone clearance in 84.4% of patients. Anatomical hepatectomy was the most common surgery. Predictors of residual stones were stone number ≥10 (odds ratio [OR], 7.480; p = .028) and stone diameter ≥10 mm (OR, 5.280; p = .020). Predictors of stone recurrence during follow-up were biliary strictures (hazard ratio [HR], 3.580; p = .005) and cholangitis (HR, 2.700; p = .037). Predictors of cholangitis during follow-up were biliary stricture (HR, 5.016; p = .006) and dilatation (HR, 3.560; p = .029). Any treatment for hepatolithiasis reduced cholangitis occurrence (HR, 0.168; p = .042). Balloon dilation combined with stenting for ≥3 months improved biliary strictures in 57.1% of patients. This study recommends BE-ERC as the first-choice treatment for secondary hepatolithiasis. Stone removal and relief of biliary strictures and dilatation are crucial to prevent stone recurrence and cholangitis after treatment.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes and complications of secondary hepatolithiasis following choledochoenterostomy to guide suitable management.
METHODS METHODS
The study analyzed 127 patients from a 2017 national survey conducted by the Ministry of Health, Labor, and Welfare. The 2023 cohort study assessed residual stones, recurrences, cholangitis, cholangiocarcinoma, and prognosis.
RESULTS RESULTS
The median follow-up duration was 48 months. Balloon endoscopy-assisted endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (BE-ERC) was the most common treatment, achieving complete stone clearance in 84.4% of patients. Anatomical hepatectomy was the most common surgery. Predictors of residual stones were stone number ≥10 (odds ratio [OR], 7.480; p = .028) and stone diameter ≥10 mm (OR, 5.280; p = .020). Predictors of stone recurrence during follow-up were biliary strictures (hazard ratio [HR], 3.580; p = .005) and cholangitis (HR, 2.700; p = .037). Predictors of cholangitis during follow-up were biliary stricture (HR, 5.016; p = .006) and dilatation (HR, 3.560; p = .029). Any treatment for hepatolithiasis reduced cholangitis occurrence (HR, 0.168; p = .042). Balloon dilation combined with stenting for ≥3 months improved biliary strictures in 57.1% of patients.
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
This study recommends BE-ERC as the first-choice treatment for secondary hepatolithiasis. Stone removal and relief of biliary strictures and dilatation are crucial to prevent stone recurrence and cholangitis after treatment.
