Hepatobiliary Flashcards
When concerned about a bile duct injury, when to go straight to PTC instead of ERCP
if transection is definitely suspected. Otherwise, if concerned about cystic duct stump, hepatic bed, or incomplete transection, ERCP first is reasonable.
Bismuth Strasberg A
Cystic duct stump leak or duct of luska leak
Bismuth Stransburg B
LIgaiton and division of anomylous right sided segmental hepatic duct
(present as late pain, not reliably diagnosed with ERCP since both right and left main ducts opacity. Presents with persistent pain, diagnosed with MRCP.)
Bismuth Strasburg C
Same as B, but proximal duct leaks freely into abdomen.
Bismuth Strasburg D
lateral injury to extrahepatic bile duct, cautery injury or otherwise.
Bismuth Strasburg E
Disruption of biliary-enteric continuity. Will require PTC
- Greater than 2 cm from confluence
- Less than 2 cm from confluence
- Injury at confluence
- Separation of right and left hepatic ducts
- Ligation below confluence with associated ligation of right posterior duct.
Bismuth strasburg classification
Repair is HJ for all but type A (maybe Type D if no stricture)
Contraindications to immediate reapir of bile duct injury
- Inexperience
- Extensive thermal injury
- Massive blood loss
- HD instability
- Major vascular injury
Latest time to consider early repair for bile duct injury in patient doing well
72 hours. (otherwise external and internal drainage followed by elective repair 6-8 weeks)
Preoperative considerations before biliary enteric reconstruction after bile duct injury
Bile re-feeding
nurtiion
Fat soluble vitamin replacement, especially vitamin K (likely parenteral needed)
Position of right hepatic artery in relation to hepatic duct
directly posterior (principle of anterior only dissection on biliary reconstruction)
Differential for liver mass
Annual incidence of HCC in cirrhosis
3-4% per year.
Risk factors for cholangiocarcinoma
- Primary sclerosing cholangitis
- Hepatic parasitic infection (schistosomiasis)
- Hx of choledochal cysts
- Hx of choledochal stones
- cirrhosis
Most common liver mets
- far away CRC
- Second far away NET
- rare ones include breast, adrenal, sarcoma, renal, melanoma, reproductive tract
work up for liver mass
- CBC, BMP, INR, LIver profile
- Hepatitis panel
- CEA, AFP, CA19-9
- U/S and Triphasic CT
- Dodatate scan if hx of NET
Imaging for liver mass with biomarkers should be sufficient, but if a biopsy is necessary - markers to help differentiate
- Lung - TTF-1
- Breat - ER/PR
- Colon - CK-20
- Pancreaticobiliary - CK-7
LIver lesion imaging characteristics
cholangiocarcinoma (characteristics)
delayed venous enhancement.
Milan criteria
- 1 lesion less than 5 cm
- 3 less than 3 cm
- No vascular invasion or extrahepatic involvement
Screening for HCC (population and frequency)
Cirrhotics of any kind
LIver U/S and AFP every 6-12 months.
