Abstract

Introduction: Iatrogenic bile duct injuries (IBDI) with loss of confluence are understood as those where right and left hepatic ducts lose continuity with the common biliary tree. These represent 4% of all IBDI and are considered a very demanding surgical challenge. Study design: This is a series of case in a reference center during an eight-year period (2008 – 2016), where all patients with IBDI and loss of confluence submitted to any bilioenteric derivation procedure were included. Results: From a total of 11 cases, 10 of them (90.1%) were treated with double bilioenteric derivation and 1 (9%) with a neo-confluence. In 90.9% (n=10) of the patients a percutaneous catheter of biliary drainage was placed before the surgical procedure. Within a 34.5 months follow-up, the initial approach was successful in 54.5% (n=6), meanwhile accumulated achievement was 81.8% (n=9) considering dilatation and remodeling procedures. From this, 18.2% (n=2) are still with stenosis of derivation in a dilatation protocol with percutaneous catheter. Conclusions: Double hepatojejunostomy with transanastomotic stents and management of eventual stenosis with percutaneous dilatation as a first therapeutic intention results in a standardized practice that leads to reasonable results compared with other high volume centers.
