肝移植治疗肝内胆管结石和肝包虫病

目的探讨肝移植治疗合并胆汁性肝硬化的广泛肝内胆管结石和不能手术治疗的肝包虫病的效果。方法对2例广泛肝内胆管结石伴胆汁性肝硬化和4例不能手术切除的肝包虫病(泡球蚴病)患者施行原位肝移植，术后定期随访，评价疗效。结果2例胆管结石患者已存活2年多：4例肝包虫病患者，除1例术后3个月死于心力衰竭外，其余3例已分别存活9个月、15个月及2年；存活患者均恢复了正常生活和工作。结论肝移植可作为治疗广泛肝内胆管结石和不能手术治疗的肝包虫病的有效手段。

Treatment of intrahepatic cholelithiasis and alveolar echinococcosis with liver transplantation

Objective To investigate the effect of liver transplantation on extensive intrahepatic duct stones with biliary cirrhosis and unresectable intrahepatic alveolar echinococcosis.Methods Orthotopic liver transplantation was performed on 2 patients with extensive intrahepatic stones with biliary cirrhosis and 4 cases of unresectable alveolar echinococcosis. The pre- and intraoperative condition and postoperative complications were evaluated. All patients were regularly followed up. Results Two patients with intrahepatic stones have survived for more than 2 years after the transplantation. Three of 4 patients with alveolar echinococcosis have survived for 9, 15 months and 2 years respectively, up to now. Another one died of heart failure at the postoperative 3rd month. All survivors have recovered well their normal life and work. Conclusion Liver transplantation could be regarded as effective therapeutic means for extensive intrahepa- tic stones and unresectable alveolar echinococcosis.
