Abstract:
Objective To discuss the etiology and treatment of extrahepatic biliary stenosis due to iatrogenic bile duct injuries. Methods A total of 12 cases of extrahepatic biliary stenosis after iatrogenic bile duct injuries(including 5 cases of open cholecystectomy and 7 cases of laparoscopic cholecystectomy) from January 1998 to January 2005 in this hospital was reviewed.After the establishment of a percutaneous transhepatic access,choledochoscopic stone removal,balloon dilatation,and drainage stent placement were performed for treating biliary stenosis.Results A F_(20) Gruntzig balloon catheter was employed for bile duct dilatation.The plastic drainage stent at 6~8 mm in diameter was successfully placed after 2 times of dilatation in 8 cases and after 3 times of dilatation in 4 cases,for 6~12 months of indwelling.Follow-up observations in the 12 cases for 2~3 years (mean,2.6 years) found no abdominal pain,fever,or jaundice.B-ultrasonography and MRCP findings showed no biliary stenosis and recurrent stones.Conclusions Choledochoscopic stone removal,balloon dilatation,and drainage stent placement are minimally invasive,safe,and effective in the treatment of extrahepatic biliary stenosis.
