  • Title: Management of iatrogenic lesions of the biliary tract.
    Author: Frühauf NR, Malago M, Broelsch CE.
    Journal: Med Sci Monit; 2001 May; 7 Suppl 1():60-3. PubMed ID: 12211751.
    Abstract:
    A wide spectrum of iatrogenic biliary complications is encountered. Most are the results of preventable trauma or technical mishaps during cholecystectomy. There is no doubt that the incidence of iatrogenic lesions of the bile tract increased since the introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. These include bile leakage, biliary tree obstruction, postsurgical strictures and various types of biliary fistulas. The purpose of this article is to review the clinical features of these iatrogenic lesions with emphasis of their interventional and surgical management.
