Bile leak syndrome after laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Abstract
Aim of the study was the assasement of surgical treatment results of patients with cholelithiasis, who had external or internal bile leakage (BL), for the optimization and improvement of diagnostic programme and surgical tactic of minimally invasive techniques usage. Materials and methods. Results of surgical treatment during the early postoperative period of patients with cholelithiasis, who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) were analysed. Results. In early post-operative period 67 (0,6%) patients, mean aged 56,9 ± 7,4 had BL. 54 (81,0%) of them were women, 13 (19,0%) were men. 21 (31,3%) patients underwent LC due to chronic cholecystitis, 46 (68,7%) patients had acute cholecystitis. In 54 (81,0%) cases there was drainage bile leakage, in 13 (19,0%) cases bile collection in abdominal cavity was identified several days after drains ejection, due to clinical manifestation and ultrasonography data. 23 (34,3%) patients were treated conservatively. Minimally invasive endoscopic manipulations, ultrasonography controlled percutaneous drainage and relaparotomy were effective in 35 (52,2%) patients, 9 (13,4%) patients underwent laparotomy with following surgical correction of BL. These patients had dense perivesical infiltrates, Mirizzi’s syndrome type I. 6 (9,0%) patients underwent laparotomy, abdominal cavity sanation and drainage. In 1 (1,5%) case partial right bile duct injury was identified, defect suturing and Vishnevsky common bile duct drainage. In 2 (3,0%) cases the cause of BL was more than 2/3 diameter injury of common bile duct. These patients underwent Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. Conclusion. Installation of drainage into the hepatic space and the right flank provide early diagnosis of postoperative complications, one of which is bile flow syndrome. Ultrasound examination of abdominal organs and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancretography are performed to determine the cause and localization of the syndrome of the BL syndrome, depending on the volume of the BL. Repeated laparoscopy is indicated for the phenomena of bile peritonitis, significant accumulation of bile in the abdominal cavity. The complex usage of relaparoscopy, transduodenal endoscopic interventions and puncture techniques can significantly reduce the number of laparotomy operations to correct complications.
