Description

Background and Aim: Bile duct injuries (BDI) remain one of the most complex problems in hepatobiliary surgery.Our aim is to assess iatrogenic BDI complicating laparoscopic and open cholecystectomy and to highlight the efficiency of BDI treatment and repair modalities of therapy.

Methods:This is a retrospective study from July 2020 to July 2025. 159 patients with BDI occurring during open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy were included in this study. 138 patients had major BDIs and 21 had minor BDI of short- or long-term failures of repair. 132 of them (83%) were referred to Zagazig University Hospitals after cholecystectomy had been done for them in different institutions, while the other 27 patients (17%) were operated on in Zagazig University Hospitals.

Conclusion: The choice of intervention is highly influenced by local expertise and should optimally be determined in a multidisciplinary fashion.
