  • Title: [Bile duct injuries in laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
    Author: Függer R, Klimann S, Walter RM, Gnant M, Götzinger P, Herbst F, Schulz F, Fritsch A.

    Abstract:
    We report on three patients with iatrogenic lesions of the common bile duct after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In one patient, an additional occlusion of the hepatic artery was found. The leading postoperative signs were jaundice and cholangitis. Endoscopic and radiologic intervention failed to correct the common bile duct stenosis in all three patients. Surgical correction by hepaticojejunostomy was successful, although the postoperative follow-up is still short.
