Non-surgical trauma to the extrahepatic biliary tract
1995
Non-surgical trauma to the extrahepatic biliary tract is uncommon and encountered only rarely by surgeons outside specialist hepatobiliary centres. Such injury often results in significant morbidity and mortality. This review outlines the incidence, classification, mechanisms of injury, presentation, diagnostic techniques and management options. Depending on the type of biliary injury identified, an optimal method of repair is suggested. Recommendations are made for surgeons who encounter this type of injury and do not have the appropriate expertise for definitive management.
