Abstract:Objective To compare the effects of ultrasound-guided hepatectomy and precise segmental-pedicled hepatectomy in the treatment of patients with hepatic calculus (HC) and the effects on the inflammatory response of the patients.Methods The data of 90 patients with HC in Zhengzhou Central Hospital (January 2021 to June 2023) were retrospectively collected and divided into 2 groups according to different surgical protocols. Forty-five patients receiving precise segmental pedicle hepatectomy were classified as group A, and 45 patients receiving ultrasound-guided hepatectomy were classified as group B. The perioperative indexes of the two groups, as well as liver function indexes [alkaline phosphatase (ALP), alanine transaminase (ALT), total bilirubin (TBIL), aspartate transaminase (AST)], immune function indexes (CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+), inflammatory markers [leukotriene B4 (LTB4), tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6)] levels, stone residue rate, and complication rate before and 14 days after surgery were compared.Results The postoperative liver cross-sectional drainage volume and intraoperative blood loss in group A were lower than those in group B (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference in exhaust time and surgical time between the two groups (P>0.05). The serum levels of ALP, ALT, TBIL, and AST in group A were lower than those in group B on the 14th day after surgery (P<0.05). The levels of CD3+, CD4+, CD4+/CD8+in group A were higher than those in group B on the 14th day after surgery (P<0.05). Fourteen days after surgery, serum level of LTB4, TNF-α and IL-6 in group A was lower compared with group B (P<0.05). The residual rate of stones and total incidence of complications in group A were 6.67% (3/45) and 4.44% (2/45), which were lower than those in group B [28.89% (13/45) and 22.22% (10/45)] (P<0.05).Conclusion Compared with ultrasound-guided hepatectomy for the treatment of HC patients, precise segmental hepatectomy can not only further reduce postoperative liver cross-sectional drainage flow and intraoperative blood loss, alleviate inflammatory reactions, enhance immune function, and improve liver function, but also further reduce the incidence of stone residue and complications.
