title: [Bile duct lesions in laparoscopic cholecystectomy--methods of reconstruction and results].
abstract: From 1/1991 to 1/1997 a total of 18 patients with major biliary lesions after laparoscopic cholecystectomy were treated. Besides 4 biliary strictures (Bismuth III, Siewert II), which were found between 20 and 180 days after laparoscopic cholecystectomy, large defects (Siewert III, IV) of the proximal parts of the hepatic duct (Bismuth III, IV) occurred in the majority of cases (n = 14). Except for 3 intraoperatively realized lesions, diagnosis was made during the first 3 weeks. Subsequent reinterventions resulted in a high morbidity rate and the need of further procedures to establish definitive biliary reconstruction. Selection criteria of the technique used for repair were the extension of the biliary lesion and the exposure of the distal stump of the common bile duct. A small defect was treated by direct suturing protected by a t-tube (n = 1). Large defects and biliary strictures were reconstructed using either a Roux-en-Y bilio-digestive anastomosis (n = 7) or jejunal interposition (n = 10). The results suggest, that early repair of biliary lesions after laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be achieved. Besides the standard procedure of bilio-digestive anastomosis, reconstruction of major biliary lesions should be performed by jejunal interposition in selected cases.
