Abstract

Aim: The
biliary fistula development after liver hydatid cyst surgery is a common
complication. The aim of this study is to examine the factors affecting the
development of postoperative biliary fistula in patients operated for liver
hydatid disease.

Methods: The study was retrospectively performed in patients
treated surgically for liver hydatid cyst between 1999 and 2010. The data of 53
patients operated for hydatid csyt were reviewed with hospital records. Patients
were divided into two groups as biliary fistulas with (Group A) and without biliary
fistula (Group B). The demographic data (age, sex), cyst diameter, cyst
localization, laboratory tests and length of hospital stay were recorded. These
parameters were compared with the groups.

Results: The groups were similar in terms of age and sex (p =
0.790 and p=1.0, respectively). In group A, the mean cyst diameter was
significantly higher than group B (p=0.001). The mean duration of
hospitalization was longer in group A than group B (p=0.001). There was no
difference between the groups considering cyst localization, AST, ALT, total
bilirubin and direct bilirubin (p>0.05 for all).

Conclusion:
Preoperative cyst diameter may be a valuable parameter for predicting biliary
fistula preoperatively. However, larger prospective studies are needed on this
subject.

Karaciğer hidatik kist cerrahisi sonrası safra fistülü: Tahmin edilebilir bir komplikasyon mu?

Abstract

Amaç: Karaciğer
hidatik kisti ameliyatı sonrası safra fistülü gelişimi sık bir komplikasyondur.
Bu çalışmanın amacı, karaciğer hidatik hastalığı nedeniyle opere edilen
hastalarda postoperatif bilyer fistül gelişimini etkileyen faktörleri
incelemektir.

Yöntemler:
Çalışma, 1999 ve 2010 yılları arasında karaciğer hidatik kisti nedeniyle
cerrahi olarak tedavi edilen hastalarda retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Hidatik kist için ameliyat edilen 53 hastanın
verileri hastane kayıtları ile gözden geçirildi. Hastalar safra fistülü olan
(Grup A) ve safra fistülü olmayan (Grup B) olmak üzere iki gruba ayrıldı. Yaş,
cinsiyet, kist çapı, kist yerleşimi, laboratuvar testleri ve hastanede kalış
süresi kaydedildi. Bu parametreler gruplar arasında karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: Gruplar yaş ve cinsiyet açısından benzer özellikteydi
(p = 0,790 ve p=1,0 sırasıyla). Grup A’daki ortalama kist çapı grup B’den
anlamlı olarak büyüktü (p=0,001). Ortalama hastanede kalış süresi grup
A’da grup B’den uzundu (p=0,001). Kist lokalizasyonu ve AST, ALT, total
bilirubin, direk bilirubin değerleri açısından gruplar arasında fark yoktu (hepsi
için p>0.05).

Sonuç:
Ameliyat öncesi kist çapı, safra fistülünü tahmin etmek için faydalı bir
parametre olabilir. Bununla beraber, bu konuda daha geniş prospektif serilere ihtiyaç
vardır.
