PTOBF Ultra-Minimally Invasive Technology at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery II, Gansu Wuwei

PTOBF Ultra-Minimally Invasive Technology at the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery II, Gansu Wuwei Cancer Hospital: Enabling Patients with Complex Bile Duct Stones to Bid Farewell to Open Liver Resection​

Patients with bile duct stones in the Hexi region now have an ultra-minimally invasive innovative option.

Without the need for open liver resection, only a puncture hole the size of a "chopstick" on the abdominal wall is required to precisely crush intrahepatic bile duct stones and address bile duct stenosis—this is not a scene from science fiction but a diagnostic and therapeutic revolution brought by PTOBF​ routinely performed by the Department of Hepatobiliary Surgery II at Wuwei Tumor Hospital!

As the first department in the Hexi region to implement PTOBF technology, the team led by Director Xing Wenjun, supported by the expert studio of Professor Wang Ping from Guangzhou Medical University, is providing countless patients with complex bile duct stones a new treatment experience characterized by "minimal trauma, rapid recovery, and reduced suffering".

这些难题，PTOBF 轻松破解！

If you or your family members are troubled by the following issues, there is no longer a need to endure the pain of traditional surgery:

✅ Intrahepatic bile duct stones (especially complex, multiple stones)

✅ Common bile duct stones (including all common bile duct stones and multiple intra- and extrahepatic stones)

✅ Bile duct stenosis (primary or post-surgical stenosis)

✅ Biliary-enteric anastomotic stenosis

✅ Fear of open surgery and concerns about liver damage

In traditional treatment plans, intrahepatic bile duct stones often require "open liver resection," which involves significant trauma and slow recovery; bile duct incision + T-tube drainage necessitates long-term tube placement, causing inconvenience in daily life and a high risk of infection. In contrast, PTOBF technology achieves three major breakthroughs:

1.Ultra-Minimally Invasive: Only 1 puncture hole (approximately 0.5–1 cm in diameter), no surgical scars, and minimal intraoperative bleeding;

2.Liver-Resection-Free: Precisely targets stone/stenosis sites, enabling one-step stone crushing and removal while preserving healthy liver tissue;

3.T-Tube-Free: Avoids the inconvenience and infection risks associated with long-term tube placement, leading to faster postoperative recovery and significantly shortened hospital stays.
