Abstract: PURPOSE: Analyze the morphological and structural outcomes of a patch of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene in the treatment of an iatrogenic injury of the common bile duct. METHODS: In Group 1 (Sham), 7 dogs underwent 3 laparotomies with intervals of 30 days between them. In Group 2, 10 dogs underwent transient common bile duct obstruction. After 30 days, this biliary occlusion was undone and a patch of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene replaced a fragment removed from the duct's wall. Thirty days after this las… Show more

“…An expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e‐PTFE) graft has been evaluated as a patch or as substitute in the management of common bile duct injuries. At short‐term follow‐up, the graft was associated with low patency rates, development of segmental strictures, and partial or total graft detachment with a consequent foreign body free in the biliary duct lumen . A biosynthetic absorbable tubular graft, composed of PGA and trimethylene carbonate (3 mm internal diameter), interposed between the transected ends of the common bile ducts, was able to reconstitute the biliary anatomy without an intestinal bypass.…”

“…At short-term follow-up, the graft was associated with low patency rates, development of segmental strictures, and partial or total graft detachment with a consequent foreign body free in the biliary duct lumen. [103][104][105] A biosynthetic absorbable tubular graft, composed of PGA and trimethylene carbonate (3 mm internal diameter), interposed between the transected ends of the common bile ducts, was able to reconstitute the biliary anatomy without an intestinal bypass. The graft favored ingrowth of native tissues to reconstitute the bilioenteric anatomy, the majority of the bile duct being lined with columnar epithelial cells overlying collagenous connective tissue.…”

“…Patches made from biomaterials include those made from nondegradable materials and those made from degradable materials. The main patch made from nondegradable materials is the expanded polytetrafluoroethylene patch . However, this kind of material might cause problems with regard to persistent residue in the EBD wall.…”

“…This is also the case for the synthetic grafts or prostheses (Vitallium, Rubber, Daflon, Silastic, ePTFE) which have been tested to improve the prognosis of the surgical outcome during the past century. The results are still unsatisfactory (8)(9).…”
