Abstract:

Objective

To evaluate the efficacy and effect of low-dose dexamethasone during perioperative period of laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LTCBDE).

Methods

Clinical data of 97 patients with cholecystolithiasis complicated with choledocholithiasis who underwent LTCBDE in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2021 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. Among them, 44 patients were male and 53 female, aged from 17 to 86 years, with a median age of 54 years. All patients received magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) before surgery. All patients were divided into the dexamethasone (n=40) and control groups (n=57) according to whether low-dose dexamethasone was used during perioperative period. In the dexamethasone group, 10 mgintravenous dose of dexamethasone was given before anesthesia induction and at postoperative 2 day, whereas dexamethasone or equivalent glucocorticoid drugs (hormones) were not used in the control group. Perioperative outcomes of all patients were observed. The WBC liver function and visual analogue scale (VAS) score were compared by t test between two groups. The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) and bile leakage was compared by Chi-square test.

Results

LTCBDE was successfully performed in two groups. No death or other serious complications were reported during perioperative period. The average WBC, ALT, AST, TB, DB and VAS score in the dexamethasone group were (8.8±2.4)×109/L, (58±9) U/L, (57±10) U/L, (41.4±6.4) μmol/L, (25.8±3.5)μmol/L and 2.3±0.9, significantly lower than (10.0±2.1)×109/L, (55±10) U/L, (44±7) U/L, (43.0±5.3) μmol/L, (27.0±2.1) μmol/Land 3.9±0.5 in the control group (t=-2.61, -1.87, -6.27, -6.72, -2.08, -8.19; P<0.05). The incidence of PONV in the dexamethasone group was 18%(7/40), significantly lower than 37%(21/57) in the control group (χ2=4.28, P<0.05). 3 and 6 patients developed bile leakage in two groups, and there was no significant difference in the incidence rate (χ2=0.26, P>0.05).

Conclusions

Perioperative administration of low-dose dexamethasone controbutes to reducing the incidence of postoperative pain and PONV of LTCBDE, improving postoperative liver function and mitigating postoperative inflammatory response without increasing the incidence of complications.
