Abstract
Aim: To compare outcome of early and delayed repair of bile duct injuries.
Methodology: Sixty- four patients with bile duct injuries of either gender were divided into group I (Early repair) and group II (Delayed repair). Operative findings such as injury classification and procedural variables and postoperative course, including 30-day re-admission and 90-day mortality, were recorded.
Results: Aetiology was cholecystectomy in 25 and 21, abdominal trauma in 7 and 8, and non-biliary abdominal procedures in 2 and 5 groups I and II, respectively. There were 18 males and 14 females and 16 males and 16 females in groups I and II, respectively. Hospital length of stay was 7.1 days in group I and 8.4 days, 30 days of re-admission was seen in 3 and 4, and 90 days of mortality was seen in 2 in group I and 1 in group II. Strasburg-Bismuth classification showed A in 1 and 2, B in 3 and 4, C in 8 and 1, D in 6 and 4, E1 in 4 and 4, E2 in 3 and 5, E3 in 4 and 6, E4 in 3 and 4, E5 in 2 and 3 and X in 0 and 1 in group I and II respectively. Preoperative PTC catheter placement was seen in 0 and 18, and preoperative percutaneous transabdominal drain placement was seen in 0 and 12 in groups I and II, respectively.
Conclusion: Early repair found to be better as compared to delayed repair of bile duct injury.
