[The application of laparoscopy in biliary reconstruction and rehabilitation after transection injury of biliary duct].

Objective: To discuss the feasibility of biliary reconstruction and rehabilitation after transection injury of biliary duct by laparoscopy.

Methods: The clinical data of 24 cases receiving biliary reconstruction after transection injury of biliary duct by laparoscopy were analyzed retrospectively from August 2002 to April 2008, including operation indications, contraindications, related operation skills and so on.

Results: Biliary reconstruction and rehabilitation was successfully completed in 24 cases by laparoscopy. There was 1 case of bile leakage and no duct stenosis complications.

Conclusions: Biliary reconstruction and rehabilitation by laparoscopy was feasible and safe procedure, has a high successful rate, and deserves further clinical trials in hospitals.
