Abstract:

  Introduction: Biliary tract injury is a major complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomywhich can be very challenging. But, the important part is to know the accurate anatomy of the ducts and site of the injury before any surgical attempt for ligation or repair. In this case a disaster might happen if we do not consider biliary anatomical abnormality as the main issue.   Case Report   In this case, there was an additional duct originating from the right hepatic lobe and inserting directly to the common bile duct (CBD) along with the right hepatic duct. The injury to this branch led to biloma secretion from two tearing sites, one proximal to the branch and another distal of the branch adjacent to CBD, during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.   Conclusion   There are numerous anatomic variations in the biliary tract, so according to this case we highly recommend to assay the exact anatomy before any intervention by means of Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) or intraoperative cholangiography.

Extrahepatic Biliary Obstruction Due to Post-Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy Biloma

BACKGROUND Jaundice presenting after cholecystectomy may be the initial manifestation of a serious surgical misadventure and requires rigorous diagnostic pursuit and therapeutic intervention. Biloma is a well recognized postcholecystectomy complication that often accompanies biliary ductal injury. CASE REPORT A 23-year-old female underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallston...

A rare case of hepatic subcapsular biloma after laparoscopic Cholecystectomy and subsequent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography

Background: Biloma is a rare abnormal localized accumulation of bile out of biliary tree due to an injury that occurs usually postoperatively from an injured cystic or bile duct. While most bilomas collect in the subhepatic space, we describe a rare case of hepatic subcapsular biloma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy and ERCP which was done one week after surgery successfully treated by p...

Biloma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Methods-Results: Over the past two-year period the same surgeon performed 180 laparoscopic cholecystectomies without any intra-operative event. All patients but three had an uneventful postoperative course (morbidity 1.6%). In 3 cases (women, 72-74-88 years-old) the US-scanning revealed a sub-hepatic biloma manifested by persistent right upper quadrant or epigastric pain, abdominal distention, ...

Management of major bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report

INTRODUCTION Bile duct injury is a severe and potentially life-threatening complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Several series have described a 0.5% to 0.6% incidence of bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this study was to analyze the presentation, characteristics, related investigation, and treatment results of major bile duct injuries after laparoscopic ...

Right hepatectomy due to portal vein thrombosis in vasculobiliary injury following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a case report

INTRODUCTION Vasculobiliary injury composed of bile duct, portal vein and hepatic artery injury is a rare, but the most severe, complication after cholecystectomy that may require hepatectomy or even urgent liver transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a 36-year-old Caucasian woman with a biliary sepsis and a large right liver lobe abscess due to an extreme vasculobiliary inju...
