BACKGROUND: The estimated prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in the overall population is 30%. Bile duct injuries associated with cholecystectomy have a constant frequency and some patients with these types of injuries have concomitant hepatic stenosis (HS). It has not been determined if HS has a negative outcome on the results of surgical bile duct repair. METHODS: Among a cohort of patients surgically repaired for bile duct injury, we selected those from whom a liver biopsy was obtained. Patients were divided into the following groups: group I--HS, group II--without HS. The groups were compared for long-term results of the reconstruction, postoperative complications, liver function test and need for reintervention. RESULTS: From group I we obtained 18 patients and from group II 71 patients. In 11% of the HS group and in 10% of the non-HS group anastomosis dysfunction was observed. Three cases in group I (17%) and 11 patients in group II (15.5%) needed further surgical reintervention. Complete rehabilitation was obtained in 77% of the cases in group I and 66% of patients in group II. No statistical differences were found in any features between groups. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with HS have a higher incidence of gallstone disease than the general population; hence, an increased probability of having a bile duct injury. The results of surgical reconstruction after these injuries are similar to those of patients without HS. Analyzed data showed no repercussion in outcome of patients with HS.
