Abstract
FERNANDEZ, Diego L. et al. Combined endoscopic and percutaneous management of benign biliary strictures. Rev. argent. cir. [online]. 2017, vol.109, n.4, pp.1-10. ISSN 2250-639X.
Background: although benign strictures of the bile duct (BSBD) have traditonally been treated by constructon of a surgical biliodigestive anastomosis at present, there is a clear tendency to resolve them in a minimally invasive way (endoscopic or percutaneous or both). Objective: to describe the management and Results of percutaneous and / or endoscopic treatment of BSBD. Materials and methods: study period: January 2009 to June 2015. Etology of BSBD, 8 surgical injury to the bile duct (BDI), 5 liver transplantis (LT), 5 liver hydatidosis (LH), 2 choledochal cystis (CC). As an average, 4 procedures per patent were done (range, 1-11); and 3 stentis were placed (range, 1-5). Average and median follow up were 21 months, and 13 months, respectively. Results: mortality related to the procedure was 0%. Morbidity was 35% (bacteremia, cholangitis, gas-trointestinal bleeding, febrile syndrome, mild hemoperitoneum, and sepsis). 19 patentis (95%) had satisfactory outicome; one patentis (5%) developed a re-stricture that required a new procedure. Conclusions: mininmally invasive treatment can achieve satisfactory Results in a high percentage of patentis with benign stricture of the bile duct.
