Summary

An accessory bile duct, found in 15-20% of patients, was injured during gallbladder removal. Surgical repair using biliary-enteric anastomosis and Roux-en-Y reconstruction led to successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
  • Surgical Anatomy

Background:

  • Accessory bile ducts are anatomical variations that can complicate surgical procedures.
  • Cholecystectomy, a common procedure, carries a risk of iatrogenic injury to biliary structures.

Observation:

  • A case report details an accessory bile duct draining liver segments V and VI.
  • This accessory duct was inadvertently injured during a cholecystectomy.

Findings:

  • The injured accessory bile duct was successfully repaired using a biliary-enteric anastomosis.
  • Roux-en-Y loop reconstruction was employed, chosen for its favorable outcomes.
  • This approach minimizes risks of leakage, stenosis, and cholangitis.

Implications:

  • Demonstrates the efficacy of Roux-en-Y reconstruction for managing biliary duct injuries.
  • Informs surgical decision-making regarding ligation versus repair based on bile flow.
