Non-iatrogenic common bile duct injury repair by Gore-Tex vascular graft: a case report.

The repair of common bile duct injuries is a challenge even when performed by experienced surgeons. Bile duct defects are normally repaired by biliodigestive or biliobiliary anastomoses but several experimental studies have been conducted with the aim of understanding whether or not synthetic prosthetic materials can be used. Although there are few experimental studies on the use of autogenous grafts, most of the international literature would appear to be more interested in the use of synthetic materials.
