Abstract
There is a marked trend toward nonoperative management of abdominal trauma. This has been possible thanks to the advances in imaging and interventional techniques. Computed tomography (CT), angiography, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) can guide the nonoperative management of abdominal trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonoperative management of blunt pediatric liver injuries has become the standard of care in the absence of hemodynamic instability. However, associated bile duct injuries remain as difficult challenges. Few case reports have demonstrated the benefits of conservative approaches, but others have found better outcomes with surgical intervention. In this study, we report on our experience with interventional endoscopic and radiologic management of 5 pediatric patients with bile duct injuries who underwent unsuccessful surgical interventions. METHODS We conducted a retrospective review of medical records of all pediatric patients who were admitted with major blunt liver trauma and bile duct injuries over a period of 5 years. RESULTS There were 5 patients (4 boys and 1 girl) whose ages range from 3 to 11 years in this study. All patients had major liver laceration and bilomas. Two had intrahepatic and 3 had extra hepatic bile duct injuries (2 right hepatic ducts and 1 junction of cystic duct with common bile duct). All of them underwent previous laparotomies, once in 2 patients, twice in 2 patients, and thrice in 1 patient. All 5 patients were eventually treated successfully with interventional endoscopic and radiologic techniques. Three underwent endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography stenting with percutaneous drainage. Two patients were managed with percutaneous drainage alone. The follow-up is up to 2.5 years with normal liver function test and bile duct ultrasound. CONCLUSION With the current advancement in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and intervention radiology techniques, we believe that interventional endoscopic and radiologic management of bile duct injuries caused by blunt trauma in children is successful and efficacious even after multiple laparotomies.

Abstract
CT is the imaging modality of choice to evaluate blunt abdominal trauma. With the advent of multidetector CT (MDCT), scanning times have progressively decreased while image resolution has increased owing to thinner collimation and reduced partial volume and motion artifacts. MDCT also allows high quality two-dimensional and three-dimensional multiplanar reformatted images to be obtained, which aid in the diagnosis of the complex multisystem injuries seen in the trauma patient. This article describes the authors' current imaging protocol with 16-detector MDCT, the spectrum of CT findings seen in patients with blunt abdominal injuries, and the role MDCT has in guiding injury management.

Abstract
The imaging evaluation of the acute abdomen has clearly evolved with the introduction of high-resolution imaging techniques, such as CT, US, and MR imaging, leaving scintigraphic examinations an important, though selective, role based on their noninvasive, physiologic, and functional nature. Proper use of these examinations among all the diagnostic methods requires a good understanding of their strengths and limitations.

Abstract
Information provided by CT scan allows for determination of the extent of liver injury and identification of other nonhepatic abdominal injuries. This information, coupled with clinical assessment, can be used to optimize management. Contrast-enhanced CT scan can monitor progression or resolution of hepatic injuries, detect complications, and guide percutaneous treatment of some complications. This article discusses CT scanning technique; classification, sites, and mechanisms of liver injury; CT scan appearance of liver injury; and complications of hepatic trauma.

Abstract
Injury to the extra-hepatic biliary system in blunt abdominal trauma is rare and difficult to diagnose. In adults, all reported cases were treated surgically. We report a case of a traumatic tear of the left hepatic duct that was treated successfully by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography and stenting.

Abstract
The incidence and significance of bile leak after open cholecystectomy have been studied. The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and significance of postoperative bile leak associated with both emergent and elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies. One thousand four hundred patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy from July 1990 to January 1995 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty-seven percent of laparoscopic cholecystectomies were performed urgently for acute cholecystitis. Diisopropyl-iminodiacetic acid (DISIDA) scan was used to determine the presence of a bile leak or obstruction. Also, a subgroup of 63 patients from March to May of 1992 was studied in a nonblinded prospective fashion to determine the rate of asymptomatic bile leak. The incidence of bile leak in the subgroup of 63 patients was 4.7% (n = 3). All of these bile leaks were asymptomatic and of no clinical significance. The incidence of bile leak in the remaining 1337 was 0.14% (n = 2). These bile leaks were discovered by DISIDA scan following a workup of atypical abdominal pain following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Both of these patients underwent ERCP with papillotomy. There were no ductal injuries in the entire series. Symptomatic bile leaks following laparoscopic cholecystectomy are rare. Asymptomatic bile leaks occur infrequently and are of no clinical significance.

Abstract
The incidence of bile leaks has increased with laparoscopic cholecystectomy as compared with open cholecystectomy. Minor bile leaks are not infrequent but are clinically insignificant; of the major bile leaks the most common sequela is the biloma, the most serious, bile peritonitis. Early symptoms may be very subtle; all untoward symptoms should be investigated with a HIDA scan to rule out bile leakage. Positive HIDA scans should be followed with endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography (PTC). Management of the leakage depends on identification of its source. Prompt identification of ductal injuries permits earlier effective treatment and consequently less morbidity and/or mortality.

Abstract
Three of 87 children with blunt liver injuries initially managed without operation required late intervention for bile leakage. Abdominal computed tomography scans in these patients showed liver injuries extending into the porta hepatis. Clinical courses were characterized by persistent abdominal pain, low-grade fever, and prolonged ileus. Radionucleide scan confirmed the suspicion of bile leakage. One patient had complete transection of the common bile duct, which was repaired surgically. Another had partial transection of the left hepatic duct, managed successfully with transampullary biliary decompression. The third patient with an intrahepatic injury was managed with a drain placed at celiotomy. Nonoperative management of blunt pediatric liver injuries carries a risk of persistent bile leakage. Radionucleide scan and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography are reliable modes of diagnosis and localization. Transampullary biliary decompression is a newer, effective modality for management of the proximal and/or partial bile duct injuries. Treatment must be individualized according to the site and extent of injury.

Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy offers a reliable and effective alternative to the standard operative cholecystectomy with reduced morbidity and patient recovery time. We report three cases in which radionuclide hepatobiliary imaging was utilized to evaluate the integrity of the extrahepatic biliary ducts following suspected biliary damage during the procedure, documenting bile leakage in two of the patients.

Abstract
This study reviewed patients with gallbladder trauma over a 14-year period treated at Truman Medical Center to determine the complications, associated injuries, and mortality rate. Fourteen patients had gallbladder trauma, 12 penetrating and two blunt. All patients underwent cholecystectomy and 10 had 3 or more associated injuries that required operative care. There were no biliary duct injuries or postoperative biliary complications. Seven patients had postoperative wound, pulmonary, or abdominal infections. There was one mortality due to delayed splenic hematoma, myocardial infarction, and cardiac dysrhythmia. Gallbladder trauma was always associated with significant multi-organ injuries that required early operative intervention.

Abstract
Drains after cholecystectomy are used commonly to avoid biliary leaks and subsequent peritonitis. Thirty-five patients who had had cholecystectomy without drainage underwent 99mTc-labelled dimethylphenylcarbamoylmethyliminodiacetic acid (HIDA) and ultrasound scans the morning after surgery. Biliary leaks detected by positive HIDA scans occurred in 11 patients. Subhepatic fluid collections were seen on 20 ultrasound scans. There was no relation between biliary leaks and subhepatic collections. Many of the collections were not seen on the HIDA scan, suggesting that they contained blood and not bile. Many of the patients with bile leaks showed no fluid collection. Clinical complications were few and evenly distributed between those with positive and negative scans. We conclude that bile leaks are not an occasional event but occur after 31 per cent of undrained cholecystectomies and that these bile leaks remain clinically unimportant.
