Activity Description

Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is performed over 750,000 times in the United States annually. As laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been increasingly used to treat symptomatic cholelithiasis, the number of bile duct injuries (BDI) has also increased. The biliary tree and relationship of the cystic duct and its insertion onto the common hepatic duct is noted to have variable and anomalous anatomy. The most common reason for injuring the bile duct is due to the misidentification of normal biliary anatomy. Once the bile duct is injured, early recognition is crucial to facilitate appropriate treatment. This activity outlines the evaluation and management of iatrogenic and traumatic injury to the biliary system and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and managing patients with this condition.

Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, and nurse practitioners.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Describe the etiology of bile duct injury.
  • Outline the methods and classification systems for evaluating any injury to the biliary system.
  • Explain the management considerations for patients with bile duct injury based on the etiology.
  • Review the importance of collaboration and coordination amongst the interprofessional team members to improve outcomes of patients with injury to their biliary system.
  • Outline the pharmacologic therapy as it applies to Bile Duct Injury
