Brief Summary

Comparison between laparoscopic and open surgical management of post cholecystectomy bile duct injury.

Detailed Description

Bile duct injury (BDI) post cholecystectomy is an iatrogenic catastrophe associated with significant morbidity , mortality and poor quality of life this is due to the large number of cholecystectomies per year all over the world. Cholecystectomy whether open or laparoscopic is done in large number about 750,000 annually in USA, the incidence of BDI post cholecystectomy is about 0.1-0.2% in open cholecystectomy and 0.4-0.6% in laparoscopic cholecystectomy although the percentage appears small but it still large number about 2100 patients per year. The two most frequent scenarios of BDI may be occurrence of bile leak or bile duct obstruction. Early recognition of iatrogenic bile duct injury is essential to prevent major morbidity by imaging techniques, such as Ultrasound and CT which are extremely valuable during the initial evaluation but MRCP remains the gold standard for diagnosis. ERCP can confirm the presence of biliary injury and provides a means for definitive management. The main aim of surgical treatment is the reconstruction of proper flow of bile to the alimentary tract. Repair of such injuries still remains a challenge due to the variety of size of injury, site of injury if proximal or distal, the severity of injury and the time of presentation after the injury. Repair of such BDI may be done by laparoscopy or by open surgery which still a matter of debate. There are many described techniques should be done by specialized hepatobiliary surgeon from simple repair, repair over T-tube up to hepaticojejunostomy. Despite widespread advances in laparoscopic surgery, laparoscopic repair of post-cholecystectomy bile duct injury (BDI) has rarely been reported related mainly to technical difficulty.

Conditions

Bile Duct Injury

Study Design

• Observational Model Type: COHORT
• Study Time Perspective: PROSPECTIVE

Study Groups

laparoscopic management of post cholecystectomy bile duct injury.

Under general intubation anaesthesia, trocars are inserted in the abdomen, insufflation by CO2 adhesiolysis is performed to reach the bile duct. Evaluation by intraoperative cholangiogram then according to the site and the size of the injury repair will done. If the injury is small simple repair or repair on T-tube will be done. If the injury is large repair on T-tube or hepaticojejunostomy will be done .If it is a distal injury repair on T-tube or biloenteric shunt will be done .If the injury is proximal biloenteric shunt will be done. Intra-abdominal drains insertion

open surgical management of post cholecystectomy bile duct injury.

Under general intubation anaesthesia, a generous right subcostal incision is performed and could be extended on demand upward to the xiphoid process and/or to the left subcostal area. Thorough dissection and adhesiolysis is performed to reach the bile duct. Evaluation by intraoperative cholangiogram according to the site and the size of the injury repair will be done. If the injury is small simple repair or repair on T-tube will be done . If the injury is large repair on T-tube or hepaticojejunostomy will be done .If it is a distal injury repair on T-tube or biloenteric shunt will be done .If the injury is proximal biloenteric shunt will be done .Intra-abdominal drains insertion.
