Abstract

The aim of this article is to describe the pathophysiology, diagnosis, classification, and management of BDI based on the relevant available literature, in particular the recent recommendations from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE). It is a known fact that bile duct injuries (BDI) are associated with a high morbidity and mortality, posing impaired quality of life along with substantial financial burdens to patients and the society in general. Depending on the type of duct injury, successful management is based upon the time of recognition of injury, patient condition, presence of complications and availability of professional expertise (radiologists, endoscopists and hepato-biliary surgeons). Appropriate management may include endoscopic, per-cutaneous and surgical interventions with imaging playing a significant role in initial diagnosis, assessment and treatment of such injuries.
