We aimed to present the frequency of bile duct injuries and how our facility handles these complications. We retrospectively analyzed bile duct injuries in patients undergoing surgery. We concentrated on factors such as sex, age, indications for surgery, type of surgery, primary procedure, bile tree injury, repair, and timing as well as early and late complications. There were 22 cases of bile duct injury in the studied material, primarily affecting women\u201415 individuals (68.2%). Eleven cases (45.7%) of acute cholecystitis were the primary reason for surgery, and an injury to the common bile duct that extended up to 2 cm from the common hepatic duct was the most common complication (European Association for Endoscopic Surgery grade 2). Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was the most common repair procedure in 14 cases (63.6%). Eleven patients (50%) experienced early complications following reconstruction surgery, whereas five patients (22.7%) experienced late complications. An annual mortality rate of 22.7% (five patients) was observed. Iatrogenic bile duct injury is a severe complication of surgical treatment for cholecystolithiasis. Reconstruction procedures are characterized by high complication rates and high mortality.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijerph20010781","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,2]],"date-time":"2023-01-02T04:51:22Z","timestamp":1672635082000},"page":"781","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Iatrogenic Injury of Biliary Tree\u2014Single-Centre Experience"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9653-9841","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u0141ukasz","family":"Nawacki","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Collegium Medicum, The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7061-2227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Monika","family":"Koz\u0142owska-Geller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collegium Medicum, The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Monika","family":"Wawszczak-Kasza","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collegium Medicum, The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Justyna","family":"Klusek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collegium Medicum, The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4149-7781","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Przemys\u0142aw","family":"Znamirowski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collegium Medicum, The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Stanis\u0142aw","family":"G\u0142uszek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Collegium Medicum, The Jan Kochanowski University in Kielce, 25-369 Kielce, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"172","DOI":"10.5009\/gnl.2012.6.2.172","article-title":"Epidemiology of gallbladder disease: Cholelithiasis and cancer","volume":"6","author":"Stinton","year":"2012","journal-title":"Gut Liver"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"132","DOI":"10.1007\/s11894-005-0051-8","article-title":"Epidemiology and risk factors for gallstone disease: Has the paradigm changed in the 21st century?","volume":"7","author":"Shaffer","year":"2005","journal-title":"Curr.
