Carefully investigate the biomechanics of bile duct and focus on the functional preservation of biliary and pancreas

Abstract

During the past half century,the great development and progress has been achieved in basic research and clinical management of biliary surgery in our country.The clinical treatment and relative complications of bile duct obstructive disease based on the central of hilar cholangiocarcinoma caused by hepatolithiasis has been explored and recognized.The systemic and supporting clinical strategy and joint treatment principle has been made,which resulted in qualified clinical outcome and formed hepatobiliary surgerythe bile duct surgery with Chinese characteristics.This series of studies had been honored as The National Science and Technology Progress Award in 2000. Bile duct tree is a closed tract full of alkaline liquid secreted by liver and pancreas to ensure the effective digestions.Previous studies had been mainly focus on the biochemical changes of structure and disease.The basic and clinical research for biomechanics of bile duct (Fluid mechanics) is obviously delayed,which caused one-sidedness,blindness and randomness in clinical thinking and treatment strategy.This also indicates the urgency to carry out the exploration and research in this field.This paper introduced the biomechanics of bile duct functions,relative physiological and pathological factors and proposed numbers of important points in the angle of clinical understanding and treatment. Key words: Biomechanics; Biliary tract
