[Iatrogenic bile duct injuries].
Bile duct injuries can be caused by different reasons, with Iatrogenic Bile Duct Injuries (IBDI) being the most common factor. IBDI is a complex situation produced in apparently healthy patients and is associated with a high rate of morbidity and a low rate of mortality. A multidisciplinary approach between surgeons, radiologist and endoscopist offers the best chances for an initial diagnosis, therapeutic options, management and follow up of complications for the patient. The aim of this review is to describe the current medical literature with reference to IBDI, and discuss our therapeutic algorithm.
