Aim: Major bile duct injury (MBDI) secondary to the blunt abdominal trauma is very rare. MBDI is reported between 1% and 6% of liver injury in adult series. This report reviews the treatment of patients with MBDI. Materials and Methods: This study retrospectively evaluates the files of patients between July 2011 and May 2016. Results: There were four patients with ages vary between 3 and 15 years(mean:9,75±4,9 years). The trauma mechanisms were traffic accident(n:2), falling from height(n:1), crush injury(n:1). Abdominal distention is the most evident finding. Grade-5 and grade-2 liver injury were detected in 3 and 1 patients respectively. Laceration routes covered the portal hilus and divided the liver as two parts in 3 patients with grade-5 injury. Excessive peritoneal fluid and contracted gallbladder were detected in all. Increased abdominal distention and ascites were detected in all patients who were hemodynamically stable. MBDI diagnosed on 13±6,73 days by percutaneous trans hepatic cholangiography and ERCP in 3 and 1 patients respectively. Percutaneous peritoneal drainage was performed in all. ERCP was attempted in all. Cannulation of ampulla and choledochus could not be performed two patients. Internal stenting was performed in remaining two patients. Peritoneal drainage stopped after 3 days of stenting in one of them. The remaining three patients underwent laparotomy. Left hepatic duct avulsion, cystic duct avulsion and laceration of bifurcation with right hepatic duct were detected. Portoenterostomy, cystic duct ligation and primary repair of laceration with t-tube drainage were performed. The average time of hospital stay were 20,75±5,85 days. Conclusion: MBDI should be kept in mind in patients with laceration routes covered the portal hilus and contracted gall bladder. Multidisciplinary approach included peritoneal drainage, ERCP and internal stenting should be considered first step of treatment. Surgery should be decided according to condition of patients and liver in failed conservative approaches.
