Abstract EN
Background.
Duodenum injury is extremely rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with potentially fatal consequences.
Methods.
Over the past 13-year period, 3000 laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed in our institution.
Duodenum injury only occurred in one patient recently who had undergone gastrectomy owing to duodenal diverticulum.
The diagnosis and management of this rare complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy are described, and the literature is reviewed.
Results.
We present this case of duodenum injury on the fourth postoperative day after selective laparoscopic cholecystectomy was treated successfully by percutaneous needle aspiration and catheter drainage.
The hospital stay was 26 days.
No abscess recurred during the follow-up period.
Conclusion.
Duodenum injuries are extremely rare complications of laparoscopic cholecystectomy with potentially fatal consequences if not promptly recognized and treated.
Sonographically guided percutaneous needle aspiration and catheter drainage can be used to treat the intraperitoneal abscess.
Billroth II subtotal gastrectomy and gastrojejunostomy were beneficial for the treatment.
