Abstract    Objective    To explore the repair timing and method of extrahepatic bile duct injury caused by cholecystectomy.  Methods    Final diagnosis time, repair timing and method of 16 cases of extrahepatic bile duct injury caused by cholecystectomy admitted between January 1985 and December 2009 in the Department of General Surgery, the First Hospital of China Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. Results    Four cases were found during operation. Ten cases were diagnosed during early postoperation. Two cases were diagnosed during late postoperation. Jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis was performed in 12 cases of bile duct transection injury diagnosed during and after operation and 2 cases of bile duct stricture caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The therapeutic effect of 2 cases is difficult to assess because postoperative time was shorter than 6 months. Twelve cases had no cholangitis and other biliary tract infection. One case in the 5th day after LC had jaundice, in whom two titanium clip occlusion of the common bile duct were found during the second operation, and then removing the line titanium clips and making T tube drainage of common bile duct were performed. One case had bile leakage after small-incision cholecystectomy (MC), in whom endoscopic biliary drainage (ENBD) was performed. The case recovered 4 weeks later. Conclusion    The right treatment should be made according to the duct injury time and degree. If it is not suitable for end to end anastomosis and self biological valve repairing, the bile duct jejunum Roux-en-Y anastomosis is a common and effective method.
