Iatrogenic injuries of main bile duct in laparoscopic cholecystectomy are the most severe complications that can occur during surgery. It is presented the causes that favor the occurrence of these injuries, the mechanisms of producing and measures of prevention on who the operator should them know very well and respect them during the surgical act.

Abstract​ Laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures worldwide. Iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI) is a serious complication of LC and has an incidence of 0.3 to 0.7%. Since it is associated with a significant and potentially lifelong morbidity as well as mortality, diagnosing IBDI as early as possible is of paramount importance. Management of bile duct injuries and prognosis of their surgical repair depend on the timing of its recognition, type and the extent of the injury. In this paper, we present a case of IBDI and attempt to discuss all its dimensions.

AbstractIatrogenic bile duct injuries (BDI) are still a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic problem. With the introduction of the laparoscopic technique for the treatment of cholecystolithiasis, the incidence of iatrogenic BDI increased.was a retrospective analysis of 69 patients treated at the department due to iatrogenic BDI in the years 2004-2014.. In this paper, we presented the results of a retrospective analysis of 69 patients treated at the Department due to iatrogenic BDI in the years 2004-2014. The data were analysed in terms of age, sex, type of biliary injury, clinical symptoms, the type of repair surgery, the time between the primary surgery and the BDI management, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay.. 82.6% of BDI occurred during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 8.7% occurred during open cholecystectomy, whereas 6 cases of BDI resulted from surgeries conducted for other indications. In order to assess the degree of BDI, Bismuth and Neuhaus classifications were used (for open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy respectively). 84.1% of patients with confirmed BDI, were transferred to the Department from other hospitals. The average time between the primary surgery and reoperation was 6.2 days (SD 4). The most common clinical symptom was biliary fistula observed in 78.3% of patients. In 28 patients, unsuccessful attempts to manage BDI were made prior to the admission to the Department in other centres. The repair procedure was mainly conducted by laparotomy (82.6%) and by the endoscopic approach (15.9%). Hepaticojejunostomy was the most common type of reconstruction following BDI (34.7%).. The increase in the rate of iatrogenic bile duct injury remains a challenging surgical problem. The management of BDI should be multidisciplinary treatment. Referring patients with both suspected and confirmed iatrogenic BDI to tertiary centres allows more effective treatment to be implemented.

Eosinophilic cholangiopathy is termed as a rare, benign, and self-limiting disease. Moreover, the interference of malignant tumor to diagnosis and the changing process of disease make the accurate treatment proposal challenging. A significant number of patients require surgery for the definitive diagnosis and resolution of symptoms. We put forward a case of eosinophilic cholangiopathy infiltrating the gallbladder and bile duct with bone marrow involved, coupled with peripheral eosinophilia. The patient underwent a successful treatment using laparoscopic cholecystectomy and steroids, instead of extrahepatic bile duct excision with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The patient gets an accurate treatment in a minimally invasive manner. In conclusion, surgery refers to not only a diagnostic methodology but also a treatment. When the bile duct and gallbladder are involved at the same time, and cannot distinguish benign and malignant diseases, laparoscopic cholecystectomy is feasible, the effect is the same, and the symptoms of eosinophilic cholecystitis are relieved.

Abstract Introduction This study explored near-infrared fluorescent cholangiography (NIRFC) with Indocyanine Green (ICG) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) surgery in a tertiary referral hepatobiliary unit. ICG binds to albumin and is excreted in bile. NIRFC utilises the fluorescent and excretory properties of ICG to provide dynamic extrahepatic bile duct mapping during LC. Method Non-randomised single centre feasibility study. Twenty-two participants were sequentially allocated to four dosing subgroups prior to NIRFC assisted LC. Each received a single intravenous dose of ICG prior to LC with the Stryker Novadaq NIR laparoscope. The biliary anatomy was assessed with NIRFC at three time-points, detection was compared to radiological cholangiogram where available and surgeon satisfaction was assessed. Result Eight participants received 2.5mg ICG 20-40min before surgery, four 0.25mg/kg 20-40min, five 90min – 180min and five 12 – 36 hour pre-operatively. Average age 50 years (S.D±15), BMI 27.5m2 (S.D±3.6), 6/22 were acute LC procedures. The prolonged dosing interval produced increased extrahepatic biliary structure identification (p = 0.016), reduced noise to signal ratio and was consistently preferred by the operating surgeon. NIRFC was inferior to radiological cholangiogram (n = 10) (p = 0.014) for bile duct mapping. We observed iatrogenic bile spillage saturating the field and obscuring structure differentiation and peri-hilar inflammation impeding fluorescent detection in acute LC. Conclusion The dosing regimen 0.25mg/kg ICG 12 to 36 hours prior to surgery provides optimum NIRFC structure visualisation. Fluorescent tissue penetrance is limited in acute peri-hilar inflammation. More research in to the efficiency of NIRFC in emergency LC is required. Take-home message An intravenous dose of 0.25mg/kg of Indocyanine Green 12 to 36 hours before surgery is the optimum dosing regimen for increased extra-hepatic bile duct structures with near infrared fluorescent cholangiography. The role of NIRFC in acute laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery remains ill-defined.
