The aim of this study is to analyze our experience with the management of bile duct injuries (BDIs) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). From 1996 to 2004, 21 patients with BDI after LC were treated in our department. The BDIs were graded according to the classification of Strasberg. Ten patients had minor BDI. Minor injuries were classified as A in six and D in four patients. In three patients, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography sphincterotomy and stent placement was adequate treatment. Six patients required laparotomy and bile duct ligation or suturing, and one patient underwent laparoscopy with additional ligation of a duct of Luschka. Eleven patients had major BDIs. These injuries were classified as E1 in two, E2 in three, E3 in four, and E4 in two patients. Among the patients with a major BDI, Roux- en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was performed. After a median follow-up of 69.45 months, no evidence of biliary disease has been detected among our patients. BDIs should be managed in a specialist unit where surgeons skilled to perform such repairs should undertake definitive treatment. Roux- en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is the procedure of choice in the management of major BDIs as it is accompanied by satisfactory results.

Objective: To describe the surgical management of complex bile duct injuries in a specialized hepatopancreatobiliary unit. Design of the Study: It was a retrospective study. Study Settings: This study was carried out at Department of Anaesthesia and Hepatobiliary Unit, Sheikh Zayed Hospital Lahore from August 2017 to August 2019. Material and Methods: This retrospective study includes 80 patients of bile duct injury who underwent surgical correction of bile duct injury at specialized Hepatopancreatobiliary [HPB] and liver transplant department of Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore. All the subjects were evaluated by retrospectively. The information regarding primary operative procedure, drain placement, T-tube placement, presentation, hospital stay, Liver Function Tests [LFTs], level of biliary tract injury and type of surgical procedure obtained from patients records. Results of the Study: During the study period 80 patients – 65 females and 15 male were operated for bile duct injury. Mean age was 39.89 years range 21 to 65 years. Hospital stay ranges from 9 to 36 days with mean of 16.18 days. Patients underwent open cholecystectomy, 43.8% laparoscopic cholecystectomy and in 3 patients procedure was converted from laparoscopic to open. 52.5% patients underwent open cholecystectomy, 43.8 laparoscopic cholecystectomy and in 3 patient’s procedure was converted from laparoscopic to open. Conclusion: It is concluded that the correct long lasting and physiological method to treat injuries of bile duct is only surgical repair. Although, surgical repair of bile duct must be operated by skilled hepatopancreaticobiliary surgeons. A practical method which is selected appropriately and implemented successfully has surely improved surgical outcome without any problem faced during the operation.

Introduction: Since its introduction in Shree Birendra Hospital, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has gradually replaced its open counterpart. Along with its superior results, surgeons had to deal with the difficult challenges of managing bile duct injuries. Methods: A prospective study of all laparoscopic cholecystectomies performed in the General surgical unit of Shree Birendra Hospital from January 2003 to December 2010 was carried out from case records in a separate register kept for laparoscopic surgeries. Results: Out of the total number of 786 patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy during the study period, 21 (2.67%) required conversion to open procedure with the most common indication being unclear anatomy at Calot’s triangle. There were 14 major post operative complications (1.78%) with bile duct injuries occurring in 7 patients (0.89%). Among these injuries, 3 injuries were recognized during the primary operation. Laparotomy with t tube placement for 6 weeks was the mode of treatment in 2 patients with Strasberg type D injuries detected post operatively. Delayed repair after 3 months were carried out in 2 injuries- one hepaticojejunostomy (Type E2) and the other required anastamosis to the left hepatic duct (Type E3). In follow up, these patients have remained aniciteric and comfortable so far. Conclusion: Bile duct injuries continue to remain a major morbidity factor in laparoscopic cholecystectomy and its management a challenge to the surgeon. Though repair in a specialized hepatobiliary center is recommended, in the absence of such center in our country, it is being done in SBH with good results.

Introduction Bile duct injuries (BDIs) still occur during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Although management of such complications is challenging, collaboration of a multidisciplinary team and development of treatment methods and materials often lead to the successful treatment. Materials and methods Medical records of 67 patients who have experienced bile duct injures after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were retrospectively reviewed. All injures were classified according to the European Association for Endoscopic Surgery ATOM classification and investigated by manifestation of the injury, surgical repair technique, early and late complications. Results In 28 (41.8 %) patients with partial divisions, the surgical treatment of BDI was completed with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and stenting while in 14 (20.1%) cases, the defect of bile duct was closed by suture. End-to-end ductal anastomosis was performed for 6 (13.4%) patients with complete division while 19 (28.3%) patients underwent hepaticojejunostomy. We followed up 58 (92.1%) of 63 patients. The mean follow-up duration was 25.7 (3 - 123) months. Twenty-three (39.7%) patients were found with strictures. Discussion Intraoperative detection and management of BDIs is crucial to achieve good results. The routine intraoperative cholangiography and possibilities of repair by initial surgeons in peripheral hospitals remain controversial. Stenting with a covered self-expanding metal stent is promising for the patients with partial divisions of bile ducts. Initial hepaticojejunostomy is often a preferred treatment for transected bile ducts because of lower rate of anastomosis strictures. However, as end-to-end anastomosis is more physiological, and endoscopy allows successful management of the strictures, we suggest choosing this treatment when possible Recommendation for paperwork content: Classifying bile duct injuries according to the new ATOM classification may be useful in the decision of the most appropriate treatment in each case.

Abstract​ Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI) is a serious complication of LC and has an incidence of 0.3 to 0.7%. Since it is associated with a significant and potentially lifelong morbidity as well as mortality, diagnosing IBDI as early as possible is of paramount importance. Management of bile duct injuries and prognosis of their surgical repair depend on the timing of its recognition, type and the extent of the injury. In this paper, we present a case of IBDI and attempt to discuss all its dimensions.
