Abstract: | Extrahepatic bile duct traumatic injuries are extremely rare and their treatment is difficult and with several controversies.
The aim of this study was to offer some more clinical information on their surgical repair and outcome. We present seven patients
with extrahepatic biliary tract lesions after blunt abdominal trauma, (isolated gallbladder lesions were excluded) four males
and three females from 23 to 51 years of age (mean age 35.1 years). All patients had suffered high-energy blunt abdominal
trauma and presented associated injuries, mostly liver trauma and lung contusions. Six gallbladder lesions and six common
bile duct injures were identified; a right hepatic duct laceration and a left hepatic duct transection were also present.
Injuries were treated either with primary repair or with duct-jejunal anastomoses with Roux-en-Y reconstruction. Principal
complications were postoperative anastomotic leakage (1 case) and recurrent cholangitis (3 cases) with or without stricture.
Not-diagnosed injuries caused substantial morbidity. We prefer and recommend the use of primary repair in partial ruptures
with no significant tissue loss and biliary-enteric anastomoses in large injuries and complete transections because they offer
the best long-term drainage with less risk of stricture formation than end-to-end anastomoses. We defend the use of long duration
(6 to 9 months) transanastomotic stents. |
