Abstract
Recently the incidence of iatrogenic bile duct injuries has increased proportionally to development of the laparoscopic surgery. The objective of this study is to determine the possible application of non derivated surgical repairs in iatrogenic bile duct injuries treatment of the above procedures. These surgical approaches range from simply placing a surgical drainage to liver transplantation. With reference to Strasberg’s classification non derivated treatments are listed, furthermore are discussed and analysed their indications and limits. Owing to their experience and specific literature, the authors came to the following conclusions: 1) These surgical options represent an ideal reconstruction technique because they restore bile ducts continuity without altering physiological mechanisms to which these anatomical structures are appointed. 2) The indications of applying these methods are rare and usually limited to those cases in which the lesion has been recognized during operation and in the immediate post operative period.
