3 Management of the Extrahepatic Bile Ducts Hamoud Hamed * Abstract Objective: Determining the ideal way and the best timing for management of injuries of the extrahepatic bile ducts in respect to appropriateness, results, and complications. Methods: The study included 25 patients who have an injury in the main extrahepatic bile ducts. All patients were managed in Al Assad University Hospital in Damascus between 2002 and Data was collected retrospectively to determine the mechanism, diagnostic tools, and management. All patients were followed until the date of publication. The results of surgical repair were assessed through evaluation of the clinical situation of the patients and according to the results of laboratory and imaging investigation. Results: A total of 25 patients were studied. The median age of patients was 33. The causes of injury were laparoscopic cholecystectomy (20 cases), open cholecystectomy (4 cases), and penetrating abdominal trauma (1 case). The injury was diagnosed either intraoperatively (6 cases) or postoperatively (19 cases). Of the latter group the patient presented with postoperative biliary leakage (12 cases), abdominal pain (3 cases), and obstructive jaundice (3 cases). Surgical management included Roux-en-Y hepaticojeujenal or choledochojeujenal anastomoses with bile duct stenting in 20 cases, direct closure at laparoscopy in one case, direct closure with T-tube placement at laparotomy in two cases, and only stenting through ERCP in one case. Management was successful without major complications in 21 cases. Four patients had significant complications: common hepatic duct stone, hepatic artery aneurysm with hemobilia, dehiscence of choledochoduedenal anastomoses, and stricture in the common bile duct. All complicated cases were managed successfully. Conclusion: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is currently the leading cause of extrahepatic bile duct injury. The complications of these injuries are best avoided by prevention. when they happen they are best managed and repaired if diagnosed intraoperatively. When diagnosis is delayed surgical intervention must be delayed for months. The best surgical repair for these injuries is Roux-en-Y hepaticojeujenal or choledochojeujenal anastomoses, which is associated with the best results. * Prof. Ass.
