Aim. To evaluate the short-and long-term outcomes after surgical repair of iatrogenic lesions of extrahepatic bile ducts depending on the timing of diagnosis in conditions of specialized clinic. Materials and methods. Our study involved a retrospective analysis of 159 patients who were treated for iatrogenic lesions of extrahepatic bile ducts during 1987-2017. These patients were divided into two groups depending on the timing of surgical treatments: early biliary reconstruction ( 5 days after bile duct transection) and late biliary reconstruction ( 5 days post-transection). These groups were compared on the basis of postoperative morbidity and long-term outcomes. Results. Following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 2 patients received endoscopic retrograde stents due to bile leakage from the cystic ducts, and 14 patients underwent hepaticocholedochostomy using Ker drainage. The incidence of bile leakage was observed in 14. 3 % of cases during the early post-operative period, strictures appeared in 28.6 % of cases. Hepaticojejunostomy was performed in 91 cases: in 62 with stents and in 29 without stents. Bile leakage was observed in 17.6 % of cases, and strictures in 19.8 % of cases. Our statistical analyses revealed no significant differences between the two groups (i.e., early and late timing of surgical treatment) in the rates of bile leakage and strictures. The extent of surgeons experience in bile surgery significantly correlated with positive outcomes. Conclusions. Endoscopic retrograde stent proved to be an effective and fast solution in cases of bile leakage from cystic ducts following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Although it is preferable to perform reconstructive surgeries within the first five days after bile duct injury, our results indicated that in the presence of external bile fistula without peritonitis and severe cholangitis, reconstructive surgery can be performed in specialized surgical departments later than 5 days with satisfactory results.

Donatas Venskutonis, Linas Urbanavičius, Juozas Juočas, Saulius Bradulskis, Virmantas Daubaras, Juozas KutkevičiusKauno medicinos universiteto Bendrosios chirurgijos klinika,VšĮ Kauno II klinikinė ligoninė, Josvainių g. 2, LT-47133 KaunasEl paštas: [email protected] Įvadas / tikslas Manoma, kad atliekant laparoskopinę cholecistektomiją ekstrahepatiniai tulžies latakai sužalojami dažniau nei atvirąją. Įvykus tulžies latakų sužalojimui, svarbu jį kuo skubiau diagnozuoti ir tinkamai gydyti. Siūlomos įvairios sužalojimų prevencijos priemonės. Šio darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti KMU Bendrosios chirurgijos klinikoje 1994–2006 metais laparoskopinės cholecistektomijos metu įvykusių ekstrahepatinių tulžies latakų jatrogeninių sužalojimų dažnį, priežastis, gydymo metodus, padarinius ir prevencijos priemones, apžvelgti literatūros duomenis. Ligoniai ir metodai Analizavome 1994–2006 m. KMU Bendrosios chirurgijos klinikoje (VšĮ II KKL) dėl tulžies latakų jatrogeninių sužalojimų, įvykusių laparoskopinės cholecistektomijos metu, gydytų pacientų ligos istorijas. Rezultatai Per minėtą laikotarpį atliktos 5396 laparoskopinės cholecistektomijos: 1681 (31,2%) pacientui – dėl ūminio ir 3715 (68,8%) – dėl lėtinio cholecistito. Po operacijos 7 ligoniai mirė. Vienas ligonis mirė nuo bendrojo tulžies latako sužalojimo ir pankreatito. Kitos mirties priežastys: trims ligoniams buvo plaučių arterijos embolija, vienam – dvylikapirštės žarnos perforacija ir peritonitas, dviem – gangreninis cholecistitas ir lokalus peritonitas. Bendras mirštamumas 0,13%. Ekstrahepatiniai tulžies latakai sužaloti 10 ligonių (0,19%). Vienas ligonis gydytas nuo tulžies latakų sužalojimo kitoje ligoninėje. Išvados Apibendrinus rezultatus galima tvirtinti, kad tulžies latakų sužalojimo ir mirties atvejai operuojant laparoskopiškai yra reti, o laparoskopinė cholecistektomija mūsų klinikoje – saugi operacija. Atvira cholecistektomija pranašesnė tik sunkiais, komplikuotais atvejais (neaiški anatomija, tulžies pūslės-žarnyno fistulės) ir nesant galimybės išgydyti tulžies latakų akmenligės endoskopiškai.

Timely diagnosis and proper management of bile duct injury are very important. Various preventive measures are widely discussed. Our aim was to analyze iatrogenic injuries of extrahepatic bile ducts sustained during laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the period 1994–2006 at the Clinic of General Surgery of Kaunas University of Medicine and to review the relevant pub-lished reports. Patients and methods Analysis of the case histories of patients treated for iatrogenic bile duct injuries sustained during laparoscopic cholecystectomy over the period 1994–2006 at the Clinic of General Surgery of Kaunas University of Medicine (2nd Clinical Hospital), Lithuania. Results During the period 1994–2006, 5396 patients underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for acute cholecystitis (n = 1681, 31.2%) and chronic gallstone disease (n = 3715, 68.8%). Seven patients died after surgery: one patient died of bile duct injury, 3 patients of pulmonary artery embolism; there were one case of duodenum perforation and diffuse peritonitis, one case of severe acute pancreatitis, and 2 cases of gangrenous cholecystitis with peritonitis. The overall mortality rate was 0.13%. Iatrogenic bile duct injury occurred in 10 cases (0.19%). One patient was referred from another hospital and was treated for a iatrogenic bile duct injury. Conclusions The incidence of bile duct injuries and the death rate were low. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was performed with acceptable safety in our clinic. Conventional cholecystectomy was preferred to laparoscopic cholecystectomy in difficult, complicated cases (unclear anatomy, biliary enteric fistulas) and in cases of unsuccessful endoscopic treatment of choledocholithiasis and obstructive jaundice.

This article provides a review of the literature on bile duct injuries after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparascopy is considered the gold standard in the treatment of gallstone disease. This technique has a number of positive advantages: minimally invasiveness, quick rehabilitation, a shorter hospital stay, a good cosmetic effect, and a low lethal outcome. Along with these advantages, the number of complications also increased: damage to the bile ducts, hepatic vessels, bile leakage, formation of strictures, defects in drainage of the biliary tract and improper treatment of the cystic duct, insufficient drainage of the abdominal cavity. Today, many aspects of surgical treatment and prevention of bile duct injuries remain controversial and are still considered relevant. The main reasons for this complication are: lack of experience of the surgeon, inattention, ignorance of the main options and possible anomalies of important anatomical structures in the area of the hepatic hilum and hepato-duodenal ligament, technical errors.

Aim. Determination of the effectiveness of the improved method of sphincterotomy in choledocholithiasis, called radial sphincterotomy. Methods. Analyzed were results of 38 operations performed by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography in patients with a diagnosis of choledocholithiasis. In the first group (23 patients) performed a standard sphincterotomy, in the second group - radial sphincterotomy. 21 patients of the first group had gallstones up to 20 mm, 2 patients - more than 20 mm; in 6 patients (out of 15) of a second group gallstones sizes exceeded 20 mm, the other patients had stones sizes 15-20 mm. Results. The technique developed radial sphincterotomy allows multiple incisions towards 11, 12 and 13 hour clock directions. Thus, the main incision can be made to the transverse folds, and other radial incisions should be carried out below it, not going beyond the proposed location of the intramural common bile duct. Anatomical and mathematical justifications of the method of radial sphincterotomy were presented. Depending on the cut and shape of papillae, the severity of the upper transverse folds defining a safe distance from the hole until it papillae, performed lateral radial incisions, thereby achieving an increase of sphincterotomy cut altogether. Neither group registered death. In 2 (8.7%) patients of the first group bleeding occurred during the procedure, after the operation pancreatitis has developed in 1 (4.3%) patients in first group and in 1 (6.7%) patients in the second group. Conclusion. The proposed technique of radial sphincterotomy is a safe way to increase the area of dissected papillae to provide high efficiency for removal of large gallstones.


Aim of the study was the assasement of surgical treatment results of patients with cholelithiasis, who had external or internal bile leakage (BL), for the optimization and improvement of diagnostic programme and surgical tactic of minimally invasive techniques usage. Materials and methods. Results of surgical treatment during the early postoperative period of patients with cholelithiasis, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were analysed. Results. In early post-operative period 67 (0,6%) patients, mean aged 56,9 ± 7,4 had BL. 54 (81,0%) of them were women, 13 (19,0%) were men. 21 (31,3%) patients underwent LC due to chronic cholecystitis, 46 (68,7%) patients had acute cholecystitis. In 54 (81,0%) cases there was drainage bile leakage, in 13 (19,0%) cases bile collection in abdominal cavity was identified several days after drains ejection, due to clinical manifestation and ultrasonography data. 23 (34,3%) patients were treated conservatively. Minimally invasive endoscopic manipulations, ultrasonography controlled percutaneous drainage and relaparotomy were effective in 35 (52,2%) patients, 9 (13,4%) patients underwent laparotomy with following surgical correction of BL. These patients had dense perivesical infiltrates, Mirizzi’s syndrome type I. 6 (9,0%) patients underwent laparotomy, abdominal cavity sanation and drainage. In 1 (1,5%) case partial right bile duct injury was identified, defect suturing and Vishnevsky common bile duct drainage. In 2 (3,0%) cases the cause of BL was more than 2/3 diameter injury of common bile duct. These patients underwent Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Conclusion. Installation of drainage into the hepatic space and the right flank provide early diagnosis of postoperative complications, one of which is bile flow syndrome. Ultrasound examination of abdominal organs and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography are performed to determine the cause and localization of the syndrome of the BL syndrome, depending on the volume of the BL. Repeated laparoscopy is indicated for the phenomena of bile peritonitis, significant accumulation of bile in the abdominal cavity. The complex usage of relaparoscopy, transduodenal endoscopic interventions and puncture techniques can significantly reduce the number of laparotomy operations to correct complications.

Summary. The aim of the work is to improve the results of surgical treatment of iatrogenic injuries of the extrahepatic bile ducts. Materials and methods. The experience of treating 362 patients with iatrogenic injuries of the extrahepatic bile ducts, obtained mainly in other hospitals over the past 18 years, is presented. In the clinic, these patients are reoperated. Among them were 258 (71.3 %) women and 104 (28,7 %) men aged 20 to 80 years. Results and discussion.Damage and stricture of the bile duct were noted during laparotomic (299) and laparoscopic (63) cholecystectomy. Damage to the hepatic duct was seen in 235 patients, choledochus — in 127. The main research methods were: percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, fistulocholangiography. In the clinic, all 362 patients were operated. In 47 of them were performed restorative operations, and in 315 of them were performed reconstructive ones. At the first stage (until 2004), restorative and reconstructive operations (with transhepatic frame drainage) were used more often. At the 2nd stage (since 2005), the operation of choice was a high hepaticoduodenostomy in 2 modified versions. Over the past 7 years, the number of postoperative complications has been reduced by 8,3 %, mortality from 6,8 to 1,5 %. Conclusions. The operation of choice in case of complete damage to the bile duct is the formation of a high hepaticojejunoanastomosis according to our modified methods. Reconstructive operations are indicated only in case of partial damage to the bile duct. A multidisciplinary approach to the correction of duct damage is advisable, which should be carried out in specialized surgical hepatological centers. The use of modified methods of reconstructive surgery contributed to a decrease in postoperative complications by 8,3 % and mortality by 5,3 % (95 % CI, p <0.05).
