Summary

Bile duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) occurred in 0.18% of cases in Brazil. Reducing BDI incidence is crucial as it increases mortality and hospitalization time.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Innovation
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • The exact incidence of bile duct injury (BDI) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) remains uncertain.
  • Understanding BDI rates is critical for improving surgical safety and patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and characteristics of bile duct injuries (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in Brazil.
  • To analyze factors influencing BDI occurrence and outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 91,232 laparoscopic cholecystectomies (LC) performed across 170 surgical units in Brazil between 1990 and 1997.
  • Data collected via questionnaires, focusing on BDI occurrence, type, diagnosis, management, and outcomes.

Main Results:

  • A total of 167 BDIs were reported, yielding an overall incidence of 0.18%.
  • Bismuth type 1 injuries were most common (67.7%). Incidence decreased with surgeon experience, from 0.77% (<50 operations) to 0.16% (>500 operations).
  • Intraoperative diagnosis occurred in 67.7%, but only 19.5% utilized intraoperative cholangiography. Mortality rate was 4.2%.

Conclusions:

  • The incidence of BDI during LC is comparable to open procedures.
  • Bile duct injuries significantly increase morbidity, mortality, and hospitalization duration.
  • Emphasizing BDI prevention strategies is essential to improve patient safety in LC.
