Bile duct Injury During Cholecystectomy: Audit of 1,437 Laparoscopic and Open Cholecystectomy
Keywords:
Bile duct injuryAbstract
Background and objective: Cholecystectomy is a common procedure, but bile duct injury is serious problem. This injury causes several consequences such as longer hospital stays and increase cost of treatment and re-operation. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of bile duct injury during cholecystectomy.
Method: Retrospective review of medical records of patients age more than 18-year-old underwent cholecystectomy between 1st January 2010 and 31st December 2014 at Maharat Nakhon Ratchasima hospital.
Results: From 1,437 patients in this study, 1.32% prevalence of bile duct injury was found. The injury occurred during laparoscopic cholecystectomy more common than open cholecystectomy but without statistical significant (p=0.08). Most of patients with bile duct injury were diagnosed during surgery or during first 2 weeks after the operation. Mean cost of treatment is significant higher in bile duct injury group than non-injury group (31,131.00 vs 65,806.05 baht, p = 0.01) and hospital length of stay also significantly longer. There was no mortality in bile duct injury group.
Conclusion: The prevalence of bile duct injury in this study was 1.32% which occur in laparoscopic cholecystectomy higher than open cholecystectomy but no statistical significance (p=0.08). This leads to longer hospital stay, higher mean cost of treatment and some patients needed to re-operation.
