Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy reconstruction after iatrogenic bile duct injury: case series report.
Cirugia y Cirujanos 2020
Introduction: Bile duct injury (BDI) is a devastating complication after a cholecystectomy. Laparoscopic management has become a mainstay approach because of the advantages offered to patients; nevertheless, outcomes after repair are influenced by the center, the surgeon's experience, and the type of reconstruction.
Materials and methods: Patients with common BDI managed at a referral center from January 2013 to June 2018 with a novel modified and simplified laparoscopic technique for a hepatic duct jejunostomy with a Roux-en-Y reconstruction were retrospectively reviewed.
Results: Twenty patients had a BDI (20/5430-0.3%), 8 (40%) had intraoperative diagnosis, and 12 (60%) patients with diagnosis before 72 h. Type E Strasberg classification, the predominant BDI was Strasberg E1 (65%), the average surgery time was 146.5 min (115-178 min), the average intraoperative bleeding was 15-50 cc. The overall complication rate was 10 % (2/20), 1 (5%) patient required, there were no mortalities, and the mean hospital stay was 5 days. One (5%) patient presented bile leak (Type SE4), and 1 (5%) patient required intensive care unit admission after reintervention. Long-term follow-up showed no bile duct stricture, cholangitis, or recurrent choledocholithiasis up to 5 years after the procedure and with a minimum of 1 year minimum follow-up.
Conclusions: This simplified laparoscopic approach to bile duct reconstruction with Roux-en-Y anastomoses appears to be an effective and safe alternative to reconstructive open bile duct surgery, offering to patients the benefits of laparoscopic surgery with a low complication rate.
