Complications common to any laparoscopic procedure should always be considered when evaluating the patient with abdominal pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Inadvertent injury to bowel from trocar placement or instrument passing may present with peritonitis and postoperative sepsis. Evidence of urinary tract or surgical site infection should be queried. Constipation or ileus may also be seen in some patients, but lack of return of bowel function should lead to consideration of a more serious underlying complication.
The major complications specific to laparoscopic cholecystectomy include postoperative hemorrhage, a retained common bile duct stone, and bile duct injury. Bleeding complications following cholecystectomy are rare and often present in the first 24 to 48 hours postoperatively. Common etiologies include hemorrhage from the cystic artery stump or liver parenchyma along the gallbladder fossa. A retained common bile duct stone may present days to weeks following cholecystectomy and is typically associated with signs and symptoms of obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, and/or pancreatitis. Bile duct injury represents the most feared technical complication of cholecystectomy and can present in protean ways dependent on whether the primary i njury results in a biliary leak or obstruction. Maintaining a high index of suspicion for bile duct injury in patients with unexpected problems following cholecystectomy is essential to making an early and definitive diagnosis. Sending a patient with unusual postoperative pain home from the clinic or emergency room without proper assessment can have catastrophic consequences if underlying intra-abdominal sepsis or biliary obstruction is left to go unaddressed.
Workup
Evaluation of the postcholecystectomy patient with suspected complications should proceed in a methodical manner. Initial maneuvers include administration of appropriate analgesia and fluid resuscitation as indicated.

Laboratory evaluation should include a complete blood count, metabolic panel, liver profile, amylase, lipase, coagulation profile, and urinalysis. The initial laboratory results can be helpful in guiding the selection of appropriate imaging procedures and other interventions. Laboratory evaluation may initially be underwhelming, though a leukocytosis may be present. The total bilirubin may be normal or only slightly elevated (2 to 4 mg/dL) in the case of a complete biliary transection with free leak. Reabsorption of bile from the peritoneum may elevate the bilirubin slightly. Marked elevation of the transaminases is not typical and should raise concern of an associated vascular injury when present. Biliary injuries are typically not associated with abnormalities of the serum amylase and lipase. When associated with an obstructive pattern to the liver profile, biochemical evidence of pancreatitis may indicate a retained common bile duct stone rather than a bile duct injury.
Ini tial diagnostic imaging may include ultrasound, to assess for perihepatic fluid collections and biliary ductal dilatation, or computed tomography (CT) in select patients. If identified, significant perihepatic collections may be percutaneously drained. If bi lious, a biliary leak is diagnosed, and the evaluation should proceed with direct cholangiography either by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). If the fluid visualized on ultrasound or CT is not easily drained, or if the question of a biliary injury is still open, a hepatobiliary iminodiacetic acid (HIDA) nuclear medicine scan may be performed. HIDA scans can detect extravasation of biliary drainage and may also demonstrate failure of bile excreted from the liver to enter the duodenum. Further anatomic detail is not available from HIDA scans, but the test may be sufficient to confirm a suspicion of bi liary injury before proceeding to more invasive means of cholangiography. CT angiography, with dual arterial and portal venous phases, can be used to define associated vascular injury. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is an attractive noninvasive imaging option if the diagnosis of a biliary
https://t.me/med1917
injury is still in doubt. MR cholangiography can define an interrupted or strictured bile duct, and contrast agents (e.g., Eovist) with biliary excretion can be used to document biliary leaks on delayed images.
ERC is the best i nitial invasive study in a patient with a suspected or confirmed biliary injury following cholecystectomy. In injuries in whi ch the continuity of the extrahepatic biliary tree is preserved, ERC may be both diagnostic and therapeutic. Endoscopic sphincterotomy and placement of an endobiliary stent is often sufficient to treat biliary leaks from the cystic duct stump or small accessory ducts. Incomplete transections may be bridged by endobiliary stents, with the need for subsequent operative intervention determined over time. In cases of common bile duct ligation, or in instances where a segment of the extrahepatic duct is excised with the gallbladder leaving an open proximal and distal extrahepatic bile duct, ERC may not be adequate to provide anatomic detail of the proximal biliary tree, nor able to facilitate crossing the injury. In these cases, PTC with placement of transhepatic biliary drains is typically necessary, and PTC should be performed in all patients with suspected bile duct injury in whom ERC was either not technically feasible or not definitive.
PTC in a patient with a recent ductal ligation or leak, and thus a decompressed biliary system, is difficult and often requires sophisticated interventional radiology resources and expertise. It is often necessary to place additional percutaneous drains to control bile leakage and drain infected bilomas until the biliary drainage is adequately diverted. These patients truly require multidisciplinary management to ensure that procedures are coordinated with the goals of improving the patient’s condition, defining the relevant anatomy, and facilitating eventual definitive repair. For this reason, the hepatobiliary surgeon needs to be involved in all decisions about placement of drains and transhepatic catheters, and the timing of these procedures.
Direct cholangiography allows classification of the type
https://t.me/med1917
of biliary injury (F ig ur e 1) according to the Bismuth­Strasberg classification. Type A i njuries occur due to leakage from the cystic duct stump or accessory ducts draining directly into the gallbladder (ducts of Luschka) and present as a biliary leak and/or subhepatic biloma. Type B injuries are defined as ligation and division of an anomalous segmental hepatic duct, typically the duct draining segment 6 (± segment 7). This injury is often facilitated by the associated anomaly where the cystic duct drains into the right posterior duct. The proximal and distal ends of the anomalous segmental duct are clipped and divided during control of the cystic duct. Type B injuries are often asymptomatic or may present late with abdominal pain or cholangitis involving the occluded liver segment. Normally, the liver behind a type B injury will atrophy over time, often indolently. Type C injuries occur in the same anatomic setting as type B injuries, though the proximal ductal segment is not ligated and leaks freely into the peritoneal cavity. The difficulty in type C injuries lies in their diagnosis, as ERC typically misses the leaking segment as it is not opacified via the main biliary tree. Cholangiograms should be carefully inspected to make sure all liver segments are visualized; when the posterior segment is not seen, PTC may be diagnostic and allow control of the leak.

In type D injuries, a lateral injury to the extrahepatic bile duct occurs, either sharply or by thermal injury. The biliary
https://t.me/med1917
tree remains in continuity, and the injury may manifest with a leak initially or a stricture in a delayed presentation. These injuries may be diagnosed accurately by ERC, which can also provide definitive treatment via endobiliary stenting.
Type E injuries are defined by complete disruption of biliary–enteric continuity due to transection, excision, and/or ligation of the extrahepatic biliary tree. Injuries that include a free biliary leak will prevent early with bile peritonitis and sepsis. Injuries with occlusion of the proximal hepatic drainage may present in a delayed fashion with jaundice and/or cholangitis, although still typically within 2 weeks of cholecystectomy as all biliary drainage is occluded. Type E injuries are further described according to the Bismuth classification (E1 to E5, as depicted in Figure 1), with important implications about the complexity of definitive repair. The majority of type E injuries will require PTC to definitively reveal the anatomic details of the injury and to establish stable biliary drainage.
In the present case, CT demonstrates the patient to have a large right upper-quadrant fluid collection. The collection is percutaneously drained, revealing frank bilious output that grows gram-negative organisms in culture. Antibiotics are initiated. ERC reveals an obstructed bile duct at the level of the cystic duct. PTC is performed demonstrating a complete transection of the hepatic duct within 2 to 3 mm of the bifurcation (type E3 injury, Figure 2,
panel A). A transhepatic biliary drain is left in place,
providing external biliary drainage (Figure 2, panel B,C).

FIGURE 2 • Type E3 biliary injury managed with U tube percutaneous biliary drainage and delayed Roux-en-Y hepatico-jejunostomy. PTC on postoperative day 5 following laparoscopic cholecystectomy reveals type E3 injury with biliary leak (panel A). A wire was able to be passed from percutaneous access to the right hepatic across the hepatic duct bifurcation and retrieved from percutaneous access to the left hepatic duct, allowing placement of a U tube for external biliary drainage (panel B). The patient recovered over the ensuing 12 weeks, during which time the biliary leak resolved with stable U tube drainage (panel C). At the time of hepati- cojejunostomy, the U tube was exchanged for individual bilateral biliary catheters placed across the anastomosis. The catheters were removed 3 weeks after repair when cholangiogram revealed a well-healed patent hepati-cojejunostomy (panel D).
Diagnosis and Treatment
The management of bile duct injuries should be catered to the condition of the patient, timing of the injury, and
https://t.me/med1917
anatomic details according to the Bismuth-Strasberg classification. Principles that apply in all cases include control of sepsis, drainage of all bile collections, and establishment of secure biliary drainage. Ongoing reassessment of the patient’s clinical condition, with reimaging as clinically indicated to detect undrained bilomas, will get even the frailest patients through what can be tenuous early stages of their injury, allowing definitive repair to be performed in an elective fashion on a healthy patient. Timing of definitive repair for those patients that require biliary reconstruction is an individualized decision that requires careful surgical judgment.
Specific treatment strategies for bile duct injuries can be determined according the Bismuth-Strasberg classification, as summarized in Table 1. The decision making about the urgency of intervention and the need for surgical reconstruction varies based upon the timing of the patient’s presentation, and the patient’s clinical condition. Injuries recognized at the time of cholecystectomy, or within the immediate postoperative period (48 to 72 hours), can be considered for early repair.
TABLE 1. The Bismuth-Strasberg Classification of Biliary Injuries Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy
https://t.me/med1917
In the case of injuries recognized intraoperatively at the time of cholecystectomy, immediate repair should only be performed when adequate surgical experience and expertise are available and the extent of the injury is completely understood. The inability to perform good quality cholangiography, or the lack of surgical experience with biliary–enteric anastomoses, are examples of contraindications to immediate repair. Other relative contraindications to early repair include an associated vascular injury, hemodynamic instability, excessive blood loss, or a thermal injury to the duct with extensive devitalized tissue.
In the case of patients who present in the first 48 to 72 hours after cholecystectomy, early repair may be considered if the patient is clinically well without signs of sepsis or hepatic dysfunction, and the anatomic details of the injury are well understood with cholangiography. Relative contraindications to early repair include associated vascular injury, thermal injury with extensive devitalized tissue, and Class E3 or greater injuries where achieving a quality repair to healthy tissue can be difficult in the acute setting.
In patients presenting beyond 72 hours from cholecystectomy, and/or with signs of intra-abdominal sepsis, the initial priorities should be appropriate resuscitation, broad-spectrum antibiotics, cross-sectional imaging, and percutaneous drainage of all significant fluid collections. Direct cholangiography via ERC or PTC is the next step, with an attempt to obtain definitive internal or external biliary drainage. Once biliary drainage is established, the pressure of time is removed and the patient should be allowed to recover from the cholecystectomy and any associated sepsis. Most hepatobiliary surgeons will wait 6 to 8 weeks or more before proceeding with biliary reconstruction. This delay allows for the resolution of any associated peritonitis, provides time for collateralized biliary blood flow to be established, and allows the patient to rehabilitate

Surgical Approach
The preferred method for repairing most injuries is a Roux­en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (Table 2), and the key principles include creation of a tension-free anastomosis to healthy hepatic ducts that drain all biliary segments. Direct end-to­end repair of the extrahepatic bile duct is often unsatisfactory when a significant section of the duct has been devitalized or removed, and is associated with a high rate of additional complications especially stricture.
