Title: [Operative wounds of the main biliary tract: immediate repair (author's transl)]. Author: Schmitt JC, Sava G, Kunnert C, Seror J. Journal: Acta Chir Belg; 1977; 76(5):489-99. PubMed ID: 335750. Abstract: The authors report a series of eleven surgical wounds, all immediately repaired. They consider the frequency of these biliary accidents to be 2% in cholecystectomies and 4% in gastrectomies. In such instances end-to-end suture seems the first choice procedure with the best longterm results. They stress the importance of prevention methods that will help to limit the risks of such operative accidents and not to overlook them, should they occur.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
