The purpose of this study was to review the unique features distinguishing Oriental from Western gallbladder disease based on a series of 690 patient who underwent surgical treatment at hospital 108 in Hanoi. Oriental cholangiohepatitis often affects in young patients with no gender predilection. The disease originates mainly in canaliculi and leads to blockage or obstruction of the main bile duct inside and outside the liver. Onset has been related to nutritional, infectious, and parasitic factors. Ascariasis may play a determinant role. Because of these unique features, surgical treatment is usually focused on the main bile duct and depends on the size, number, and effects of gallstones. The authors recall that excision of liver tissue may be unavoidable in some cases due to the severity and consequences of lithiasis. |
