What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating ways to improve surgical treatment outcomes for liver echinococcosis complicated by biliary fistulas. The study aims to optimize diagnostic methods for early detection of biliary fistulas and improve surgical techniques to better eliminate these complications. This research focuses on refining both the diagnosis and treatment approaches to enhance patient recovery and reduce postoperative issues. The study involves conservative surgical treatment for liver echinococcosis where occult biliary fistulas are identified and managed by applying a U-shaped suture followed by medical cyanoacrylate glue between suture stitches on the fibrous capsule near the fistula. This method is being assessed to determine its effectiveness in managing biliary fistulas during surgery. Participants will be monitored for up to three months after surgery. Researchers will measure the incidence of bile leakage, the time it takes for biliary fistulas to close, treatment costs, and patients' quality of life after surgery. Detailed postoperative data including patient condition, discharge characteristics, complications, and hospital stay duration will be collected to evaluate outcomes and recovery progress.
