Abstract

Background and Aim: Bile duct injuries (BDIs) are complex complications developed during laparoscopic cholecystectomy leading to the postoperative morbidity and mortality. Auxiliary bile duct injury, vascular structures injuries, portal vein, cyst duct leakage and damage to right hepatic artery are caused by bile duct injuries. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the incidence, clinical presentation, and treatment modality of bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Patients and Methods: This descriptive case series was conducted on 96 extra hepatic biliary injuries in the Department of General Surgery, Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar from April 2022 to March 2023. Patients with extra hepatic biliary injuries of either gender were enrolled. Abdominal ultrasonography, ERCP, and MRCP were the different investigating modalities performed on each individual. Complete blood picture, activated Partial thromboplastin time (APTT), liver function tests, blood sugar, prothrombin time (PT), Creatinine, serum electrolytes, and Urea were thoroughly performed on each patient. HIV, HBs, and HCV were various  screening tests performed. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 96 patients, there were 26 (27.1%) male and 70 (72.9%) females.
