Abstract:
Long-term outcomes of surgical bile duct injury (BDI) repair are affected by multiple factors, such as surgeon's experience, severity of BDI, pathological changes of the proximal duct, and the manner and timing of surgical repair. However, the timing of BDI repair is still controversial still. In this article, the authors reviewed the correlation of pathophysiologic changes of the proximal duct, repair timing and outcome discussed in English references. It was shown that pathophysiologic changes of the proximal duct are a major contributor to the timing of BDI repair.
