Long-term results of endoscopic-radiologic rendez-vous of iatrogenic complete transection of the common bile duct
Introduction: Complete transection of the common bile duct is a dramatic complication after biliary surgery especially after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Since
1995 we have proposed an endoscopic – radiologic rendez-vous that successfully
obtains the reconstruction of the biliary tree in a minimal invasive way. After
treatment with 4 or 5 biliary plastic stents left in place for at least one year1
patients were followed up for at least five years.
Aims and Methods: Since 1995, 91 patients were treated for complete transection
