The objective of this study was to describe the management and outcome of repair in patients who sustained bile duct injuries (BDI) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study was conducted in the department of surgery, Postgraduate Medical Institute/Lahore General Hospital, Lahore, over a period of 5 years from April 1999 to March 2004. Twelve patients of BDI following LC were managed during this period. Three out of 725 patients (0.4%) sustained BDI during LC in our own hospital, while 9 (75%) patients were referred from elsewhere. Strasberg type E accounted for majority of the injuries (66.6%). In 8 patients, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was done. Excellent outcome after surgical reconstruction of BDI was noticed in 11(91%) patients. |
