Gall bladder :
7 to 10 cm length.
30 to 60 ml capacity.
Fundus ,body infundibulum and neck
Cystic duct :
Length : 1 to 5 cm
Diameter : 3 to 7 mm
Blood supply :
Distal :
Gastroduodenal,retroduodenal,
pancreatoduodenal arteries
Proximal : Right hepatic and cystic
arteries.

Common hepatic duct ,liver and
cystic duct.
Cystic artery, RHA & lymph node.

Cholangiography

the Calot triangle.
Direct injury
Clipping of duct
Thermal injury
Ischaemia
Inflammation and scarring
secondary to bile leakage.
Complicated pathology
Acute inflammation and scarring of
the triangle of calot.
Acute cholecystitis.
Acute pancreatitis.
Chronic cholecystitis.
Mirizzi syndrome
Perforated duodenal ulcer.
Technical errors
Cephalad and lateral retraction of
gall bladder is necessary to expose
the structures.
Cautious retraction in case of acute
inflammation or gangrenous gall
bladder.
Avoid application of clips too close to
the cystic duct CBD junction.
CLASSIFICATION
A drawback of
the Bismuth
classification is
that patients
with limited
strictures,
isolated right
hepatic duct
strictures, or
cystic duct leaks
cannot be
classified
Strasberg
classification is
able to classify
all types of
injury and is
used extensively
in describing bile
duct injuries
associated with
laparoscopic
cholecystectomy

Routine intraoperative
cholangiography
Fletcher et al. in 1999 found that
intraoperative cholangiography had a
protective effect for complications of
cholecystectomy in a retrospective
study of 19,000 cholecystectomies.
Is it possible to detect
these injuries intra
operatively?
Bile drainage:
Drainage of bile from any location other than
a lacerated gallbladder
Bile draining from a tubular structure
Anomalous anatomy:
Second cystic duct, aberrant duct,
accessory duct, or suspected duct of
Lushka, these are generally the common
duct or a hepatic duct
Second cystic artery, this may be the right
hepatic artery
Lymphatics surrounding the cystic duct or
more tissue around the cystic duct than is
usually encountered, this indicates that
the dissection is in the porta
Fibrous tissue in the gallbladder bed,
indicates transection of the proximal
hepatic ducts
How to prevent?

TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF
SURGICAL REPAIR
SURGICAL REPAIR
The blood supply of the common duct is axial
running at 3:00 and 9:00 on the duct.
These vessels are small and easily damaged
during extensive mobilization of the duct.
In addition, the majority of the blood supply
(60%) comes from below, while only 38%
comes from above, further contributing to
ischemia in the proximal portion of the duct
Unsuccessful :
1.When repaired at the initial open
cholecystectomy
2. Class III injuries, especially
laparoscopic.
The reasons for the high failure rate
of end-to-end biliary anastomoses
relate to ischemia and tension.
Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy
Has the best success
rate for the repair of
a transection injury of
CBD/CHD
Stenting
Stenting is useful, however, when very
small ducts are repaired (class IV
injuries or class III injuries where the
resection has been carried high into the
porta).
For other injuries stenting may not be
required.
The management of
postoperative biliary
strictures following ductal
injury depends on the degree
of injury, the presence of
stricture-induced
complications, and the
operative risk of the patient.

Role of Interventional
Radiology

3 Rs
Resuscitation
Restitution
Rehabilitation
Resuscitation
The first stage in the management
is the restoration of volume using
crystalloid and colloid products as
appropriate to restore oxygen
carrying capacity and plasma oncotic
pressure.
Blood PCV 30%
Albumin -3
Control of sepsis
Per cutaneous drainage
Antibiotcs should only be given for
defined infections and for a set
duration of therapy
Nutritional support
Cholangiography
Non-operative management
Usually for low output fistula
Percutaneous drainage
Trans-hepatic stenting
Surgical intervention
For early high output fistula
Persistent sepsis
Reoperation
