Correction of iatrogenic injuries of the extrahepatic bile ducts and external bile fistulas using a minimally invasive technique

Abstract

The problem of surgical correction of iatrogenic bile duct injuries (IBD) and external biliary fistulas (EBF) is one of the most pressing issues of abdominal surgery [1,2]. The urgency of the situation in APZhP and NZhS is due to the duration of the pathology, the increase in chronic obstructive jaundice and subsequent biliary cirrhosis, portal hypertension, purulent cholangitis, and liver failure. These patients undergo multiple restorative and reconstructive surgeries.
