Iatrogenic Bile Duct Injury

AbstractIatrogenic bile duct injuries (BDI) are still a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic problem. With the introduction of the laparoscopic technique for the treatment of cholecystolithiasis, the incidence of iatrogenic BDI increased.was a retrospective analysis of 69 patients treated at the department due to iatrogenic BDI in the years 2004-2014.. In this paper, we presented the results of a retrospective analysis of 69 patients treated at the Department due to iatrogenic BDI in the years 2004-2014. The data were analysed in terms of age, sex, type of biliary injury, clinical symptoms, the type of repair surgery, the time between the primary surgery and the BDI management, postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay.. 82.6% of BDI occurred during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, 8.7% occurred during open cholecystectomy, whereas 6 cases of BDI resulted from surgeries conducted for other indications. In order to assess the degree of BDI, Bismuth and Neuhaus classifications were used (for open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy respectively). 84.1% of patients with confirmed BDI, were transferred to the Department from other hospitals. The average time between the primary surgery and reoperation was 6.2 days (SD 4). The most common clinical symptom was biliary fistula observed in 78.3% of patients. In 28 patients, unsuccessful attempts to manage BDI were made prior to the admission to the Department in other centres. The repair procedure was mainly conducted by laparotomy (82.6%) and by the endoscopic approach (15.9%). Hepaticojejunostomy was the most common type of reconstruction following BDI (34.7%).. The increase in the rate of iatrogenic bile duct injury remains a challenging surgical problem. The management of BDI should be multidisciplinary treatment. Referring patients with both suspected and confirmed iatrogenic BDI to tertiary centres allows more effective treatment to be implemented.

INTRODUCTION: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the most commonly performed general surgical procedure. During the COVID-19 pandemic, general recommendation worldwide is to postpone elective surgeries as far as possible to decrease the resource utilization and also aerosol-related transmission among hospital staff and patients. We conducted this study to see the burden of gallbladder disease, their management and outcomes of all patients who presented to our centre during first wave of COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of all patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy at the Hospital for Advanced Medicine and Surgery (HAMS) after the commencement of strict lockdown in the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Ethical approval for the study was taken from Nepal Health Research Council. All the surgeries were performed as per HAMS interim policy for infection prevention and control during the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were extracted from the discharge sheet and outcomes in terms of duration of hospitalization, morbidity, mortality, and COVID -19 infection among patient and operating team staff after surgery were assessed. RESULTS: Out of 110 cases operated for gallbladder disease, 90 patients were included in the study with complete data. The most common presentations were dyspepsia (28) and biliary colic (22). Patients were managed with laparoscopic cholecystectomy (79), percutaneous cholecystostomy (4), laparoscopic subtotal cholecystectomy (5), open cholecystectomy (1). The median duration of hospitalization 22 hours. There was no COVID-19 transmission among staff and patients. CONCLUSIONS: Laparoscopic cholecystectomies are feasible during COVID-19 pandemic and safely performed following infection prevention guidelines. It can be still be performed in day case basis to decrease the bed occupancy and avoiding crowd in hospitals.

Number Of Patients

The incidence of cervical carcinoma in younger women is increasing in Tayside despite a decrease in the overall incidence. However, stage for stage, we did not encounter a poorer survival in younger patients. A number of patients had been sterilised or had a pregnancy when cytological screening was available and not made use of. There were also some false negative smears which were reclassified for retrospective analysis. We would recommend cervical screening every three years and careful inspection of the cervix and a smear taken in cases of abnormal gynaecological symptoms such as post coital bleeding.
