[Injuries of the ducts in surgery of the biliary tract].

The authors analysed 92 reconstructive and restorative operations on the biliary tract injured at a high level during emergency operations. Such complications occur most frequently when the surgeon is insufficiently experienced or due to unavailability or incomplete use of the radiological method of intraoperative diagnostics. The expediency of reinfusion of the lost bile into the gastrointestinal tract in the diagnosis of injury to the biliary tract is pointed out. It is emphasized that patients must be transferred early to a specialized medical establishment for a reconstructive operation. The creation of hepato-digestive anastomoses on a transhepatic drain produces better results than the other drainage methods. In the group of 92 patients 77 recovered and 15 died in different periods after the operation.
