[Surgical treatment of injuries of the bile ducts].
The bile ducts were injured during cholecystectomy in 143 of 155 patients treated at the clinic. In most cases (78) the iatrogenic injuries occurred under conditions of a severe inflammatory and cicatricial process in the zone of the cystic neck and hepaticocholedochus. Mortality in correction of a fresh injury of the duct by the traditional methods was 11.1%. An alternative approach to improvement of the results of surgical treatment of injury to the bile ducts and its late-term sequelae may be the use of precision techniques with application of sutures of nonreactive and nonlithogenous monofilamentous suture materials.
