The aim of this retrospective study is to review the annual incidence, management, and outcomes of bile duct injuries (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in a population-based cohort during 2008-2018 in Estonia.
The aim of this retrospective study is to review the annual incidence, management, and outcomes of bile duct injuries (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in a population-based cohort during 2008-2018 in Estonia.
Background Data: Iatrogenic bile duct injuries (BDI) following laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) result in major morbidity and incidental mortality. There is a lack of unselected population-based cross-sectional studies on the incidence, management, and outcomes of BDI. We hypothesised that due to improved imaging capabilities and collective laparoscopic experience, the BDI incidence will decrease over the study period and compare favourably with contemporary literature.
After IRB approval, all cholecystectomies performed at national public healthcare facilities between 2008 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. BDIs were classified according to the Strasberg classification. We hypothesized that due to improved imaging capabilities and collective laparoscopic experience the BDI incidence will decrease over the study period and compare favourably to contemporary literature.

Study population consists of patients who experienced a bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy during 2008-2018 in Estonian national health care facilities. The data was obtained according to coding in National Health Insurance Fund electronic database. Data on readmissions related to BDIs and their subsequent complications were collected from the National Institute for Health Development repository.
Exclusion Criteria:
The data concerning 241 patients´ BDI emergence, severity, management, and outcomes was analyzed
Procedure: Management of bile duct injury
There are different options for BDI management, we analyzed their utilization and results
incidence of bile duct injuries
We aimed to review the annual incidence of bile duct injuries in a population-based cohort in Estonia.
Time frame: During the years 2008-2018
