Incidence of Biliary Injuries during Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: Prevention, Recognition, Reconstruction, Outcome - Abstract
The incidence of bile lesions after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) remains high despite surgeons having crossed the learning curve. In fact, the data reported on bile and vascular injuries in the course of LC ranges from 0,3 to 1,4. Many of these lesions are not due to inexperience; they are the result of basic technical failure and misinterpretations.
The purpose of this work is to make a contribution, based on our experience of over 40 years, to reduce the possibility of ongoing LC injuries by improving the possibilities of their prevention as well as a timely recognition that would favor a more suitable repair with more valid results in the future.
