Abstract

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of bile duct stent in the surgical treatment of iatrogenic bile duct injury. Methods From January 2020 to June 2024 in department of general surgery of general or branch hospital of Ruijin Hospital, the clinical data of 7 cases with iatrogenic bile duct injury who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the therapeutic effect and complications of bile duct injury. Results For 7 cases with iatrogenic bile duct injury, 2 of which were Strasberg D type, were performed with biliary duct repair and bile duct stenting, 5 of which were Strasberg E1 type, were performed with primary end-to-end anastomosis and bile duct stenting. All the operations were successful, and none of patients had the complications such as biliary leakage, jaundice, acute cholangitis, bile duct calculus, and bile duct stenosis. Conclusions It is safe and effective to replace T tube with bile duct stent in the surgical treatment of iatrogenic bile duct injury of Strasberg D/E1 type.
