Abstract:Objective To investigate the value of surgical treatment guidance by 99mTc-EHIDA SPECT 30 min gallbladder imaging for endoscopic minimally invasive cholecystolithotomy of cholelithiasis patients.Methods 791 patients with cholelithiasis and 99mTc-EHIDA SPECT imaging were retrospectively analyzed, including 388 males and 403 females with an average age of (53.5 ± 29.5) years. Comparative analysis of SPECT gallbladder imaging results and gallbladder surgical treatment.Results Of all the patients with confirmed cholelithiasis, 633 case of 99mTc-EHIDA SPECT gallbladders were visualized, suggesting normal gallbladder function, while 158 cases of 99mTc-EHIDA SPECT gallbladder were not visualized, suggesting abnormal gallbladder function. The coincidence rate between SPECT gallbladder function and surgical gallbladder treatment was 80.03% (633/791). There was a significant difference between the gallbladder preservation rate of normal and abnormal gallbladder function groups (??2 = 95.66, P = 0.000), and the odds ratio (O) was 7.91 with 95% confidence interval 4.99~12.55.Conclusion 99mTc-EHIDA SPECT 30 min gallbladder imaging is a safe, rapid, simple and non-invasive method to effectively determine the functional status of gallbladder, to guide the decision of surgical treatment of cholelithiasis.
