REPAIR OF STRASBERG TYPE E BILE DUCT INJURY VIA ERCP ALONE FOLLOWING LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video discusses a unique case where a Strasburg type E bile duct injury, a severe complication following laparoscopic cholecystectomy, was successfully managed using advanced endoscopic techniques (ERCP) alone, without surgical intervention. The case involved a 39-year-old woman with a complete transection of the common bile duct. An innovative endoscopic method reconnected the bile duct, restoring bile flow and achieving successful reconstruction, confirmed via follow-up imaging. This suggests that, in certain circumstances, ERCP might be a viable, less invasive alternative to surgery for treating major bile duct injuries, though further research is needed.
