Abstract:
Bile duct injuries (BDI) from surgical procedures pose significant clinical challenges, requiring precise interventions for optimal outcomes. This systematic review explores the utilization of grafts in the repair of bile duct injuries, aiming to gain insights from existing literature. Graft-based techniques show promise in improving postoperative outcomes, but their efficacy varies. A systematic search was conducted across PubMed, Science Direct, and Scopus following the PRISMA 2020 Checklist, focusing on studies published until February 19, 2024. The inclusion criteria involved research using grafts to treat bile duct injuries in pig, swine, or mini-pig models. Out of 2231 studies identified, eleven met the inclusion criteria. These studies evaluated various graft techniques, including autologous tissue with biodegradable stents, decellularized grafts, patches, prosthetic grafts, bacterial cellulose film, and heterogeneous materials. Each method had distinct advantages and limitations, particularly regarding postoperative outcomes and histological findings. This review highlights the need for further research to determine the most effective graft-based strategies for BDI repair and improve patient care.
