Abstract
Objective To investigate the effect of laparoscope combined with ureteroscope for the treatment of hepatolithus. Methods 98 patients were randomly divided into two groups:the study group(laparoscope combined with ureteroscope group) and the control group (the open surgery group). The mean blood loss, the recovery of the stomach and intestines function, hospital stay and the rate of complications were observed. Results Compared with the open surgery group,the mean blood loss,the recovery of the stomach and intestines function,and hospital stay in the study group had statistically significant difference (all P＜0. 05). Compared with the open surgery group, the time of surgery and the patients carrying T tubes in the study group had statistically significant difference (all P＜0. 05). Compared with the open surgery group, the rate of gallstone removal、the rate of gallstone residual and the rate of injures in the study group had no statistically significant difference(all P＞0. 05). Conclusion Laparoscope combined with ureteroscope in patients with hepatolithus had the advantage of less trauma, faster postoperative recovery and fewer complications. It was safe and effective,so it was worth to recommend its clinical use. Key words: Laparoscopes; Ureteroscopes; Calculi
