المستخلص In this study, 30 patients with post cholecystectomy bile duct injuries were assessed, 19.of which were females and 11 males. The ages of the patients ranged between 30 and 65 years. 5 patients were diagnosed intra - operatively while 25 patients were diagnosed in the post operative period. The time of presentation of patients diagnosed postoperatively varied significantly among the patients ranging from a few days to 13 months. 17 patients presented clinically with obstructive jaundice with or without cholangitis. 2 patients presented with biliary peritonitis while 4 patients presented with external biliary fistulae and 2 R€l~jents presented with an intra abdominal collection (biloma) All the patients were assessed through a thorough history taking and physical examination, in addition to complete laboratory work - up. Abdominal ultrasound was done as a routine primary investigation for all patients. It was very accurate in the detection of intrahepatic biliary dilatation and intraperitoneal collections and their aspiration ERCP was successfully performed as a preoperative investigative tool in 15~atients with accurate results documenting the level of bile duct injuries, failure in one case, also it was successful in management of 9 cases. PTC was a successful preoperative diagnostic tool in two patients, clearly delineating the proximal biliary tree and identifying the level of injury. PTC with external drainage of the biliary tree (PTD) was avoided to keep the advantage of finding dilated bile ducts in subsequent planned surgery shortly afterwards. MRCP was done as a preoperative diagnostic tool for 8 patients it showed excellent results in accurately specifying the level of the injury, and the degree of dilatation of the proximal biliary tree. Management depended largely on time of diagnosis. Spatients (those diagnosed intraoperatively) were managed immediately. 11 patients were managed by non - surgical treatment through ERCP or US I guided drainage. 14 patients were managed by surgery, 2 patients managed by surgical drainage and 12 patients managed by bilioenteric anastomosis. |
