Clinical Value Analysis of Hepatectomy Based on Minimally Invasive Surgical Imaging for Hepatolithiasis.

Objective. To investigate the clinical value of hepatectomy based on minimally invasive surgical images in the treatment of hepatolithiasis. Methods. The clinical data of 87 patients with hepatolithiasis who received treatment in the Department of General Surgery of our hospital from February 2020 to September 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to different surgical methods, the patients were divided into minimally invasive group (n = 43) and laparotomy group (n = 44). Perioperative conditions and stone clearance rate were compared. Results. The preoperative conditions of patients in the two groups were comparable, and the average operation time in the minimally invasive group was significantly longer than that in the laparotomy group (t = 18.783, P < 0. 0 0 1). There was no significant difference in intraoperative bleeding, postoperative fasting time, postoperative complications, and stone clearance between the two groups (P > 0. 0 5). Postoperative hospital stay was significantly lower in the minimally invasive group than that in the laparotomy group (t = −0.486, P < 0. 0 0 1). Conclusion. Hepatectomy based on minimally invasive surgical imaging for hepatolithiasis is safe and feasible, has high clinical value, and can achieve similar short-term clinical efficacy to laparotomy and reduce the postoperative hospital stay of patients, reflecting its minimally invasive advantages, and it is worthy of clinical application.
