Case report demonstrates successful laparoscopic hepatectomy in a patient with hepatolithiasis, highlighting the role of bile duct anatomy in surgical management.
Key Points
Laparoscopic hepatectomy achieved a favorable prognosis for a patient with complex hepatolithiasis and chronic cholangitis.
Surgical intervention involved resection of multiple hepatic segments and anastomosis with the jejunum, ensuring effective stone clearance.
Intervention was guided by double landmarks: the diseased bile duct and hepatic vein, enhancing surgical precision and safety.
This case highlights the potential for laparoscopic techniques to address severe biliary conditions and reduce perioperative risks.
