Abstract
Bile duct injuries can occur after abdominal trauma, postoperatively after cholecystectomy, liver resection or liver transplantation and also as acomplication of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). The clinical appearance of bile duct injuries is highly variable and depends primarily on the underlying cause. In addition to the high perioperative morbidity, following successful initial complication management, bile duct injuries can lead to significant long-term complications. The treatment requires close interdisciplinary cooperation between surgery, interventional gastroenterology and interventional radiology. The treatment of bile duct injuries depends primarily on the time of diagnosis (intraoperative/postoperative) as well as the extent of the injury and is discussed in this review.
