Diagnosis, Treatment, and Prevention of Iatrogenic Injury in the Lower Part of Common Bile Duct

Abstract

Iatrogenic bile duct injury is one of the important problems in abdominal surgery and its incidence has shown an upward trend in recent years. Iatrogenic bile duct injury threatens the quality of life and life safety of patients. At present, there is a lack of diagnostic and treatment norms that have a guiding significance based on large-scale evidence-based medicine research. The injury to the lower part of the common bile duct, especially the joint of the biliary and pancreatic intestines, generally is more serious. This article introduces the current status, classification, common causes, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention regarding the iatrogenic injury in the lower common bile duct. A deeper understanding of this injury may help minimize the incidence of injury, standardize diagnosis and treatment and improve the prognosis of patients.
