Abstract

In the era of laparoscopic cholecystectomy there was a dramatic increase in the incidence of the bile duct injuries. It was estimated that major bile duct injury occurred in approximately 0.2% to 0.4% during open cholecystectomy opposed to 0.6% to 0.8% of patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim was to highlight the repair options for the happened injury. Included in the study were 22 patients, 19 sustained injury at our hospital and 3 referral cases between Feb. 1999 to Nov2014. The treatment options were end to end anastomosis over T-tube or straight stent and Roux-en Y hepaticojejunostomy with or without stenting the anastomosis. Regarding the injuries, according to Strasberg there were 2 A, 4 D, 8 E1, and 5 E2. The three referral cases were choledochodoudonostomy. They were treated through simple ligation of cystic duct in two cases, end to end anastomosis in seven cases (three of them over T-tube and four over straight stent). The remaining fifteen cases were treated with Roux-en Y hepaticojejunostomy with or without stenting the anastomosis (22 patients with 24 interventions due to 2 redo). We concluded that proximal bile ducts are at greater risk with laparoscopic cholecystectomy even with expert surgeon. Satisfactory results were obtained with end to end anastomosis over either T-tube or straight stent, however these two options cannot be applied to all cases as it is difficult to be done with non dilated ducts, so Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is the most feasible among all types of repairs as it can be applied to most cases even those with non dilated common bile duct.
