Article Abstract
Background: This study intends to determine the risk factor(s) for intraoperative hemobilia in patients with hepatolithiasis and examine whether the occurrence of intraoperative hemobilia influences the rate of early postoperative complications.
Methods: A retrospective analysis of 867 eligible patients was performed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: group A (hemobilia, n = 76) and group B (nonhemobilia, n = 791).
Results: The incidence of intraoperative hemobilia was 8.8% (76/867). Independent risk factors of intraoperative hemobilia for patients with hepatolithiasis were interval between surgery and latest attack of acute cholangitis less than or equal to 38.8 days; preoperative attack of acute severe cholangitis; and intrahepatic duct stricture. Group A had a higher incidence of early postoperative complications than group B. Shorter interval between surgery and latest attack of acute cholangitis correlated with intraoperative hemobilia and postoperative complications.
Conclusion: The severity and time of onset of preoperative acute cholangitis influence the risk of intraoperative hemobilia, which is positively correlated with early postoperative complications.

Background: Bile duct stones (BDSs) may cause patients to develop liver cirrhosis or even liver cancer. Currently, the success rate of surgical treatment for intrahepatic and extrahepatic BDSs is not satisfactory, and there is a risk of postoperative complications.
Aim: To compare the clinical effects of dual-modality endoscopy (duodenoscopy and laparoscopy) with those of traditional laparotomy in the treatment of intra- and extrahepatic BDSs.

Although postoperative cholangioscopy (POC) guided electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) is considered to be a conventional technique for residual biliary calculi, its efficacy still needs to be improved to fit in the managemet of refractory calculi. This study evaluated the efficacy and safety of combined lithotripsy of mechanical clamping and electrohydraulics in fragmentation and removal of refractory calculi. Totally, 281 patients, who suffered from residual biliary calculi after hepatectomy and underwnet POC from August 2016 to June 2018 were involved.
