“…Surgery is the primary risk factor for TN. Surgical manipulations, including excessive exploration, thermocoagulation, and vascular ligation, which may damage the surrounding nerves or arteries, can increase the risk of TN [ 1 ]. As many sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves are located outside the wall of the bile ducts, most TBN are extraluminal.…”

“…The best method for biliary reconstruction requires further study and more precise evidence. Some patients underwent much more aggressive surgeries, including periportal lymphadenectomy, pancreaticoduodenectomy, and hemihepatectomy, owing to difficulties in distinguishing them from biliary malignancies [ 1 , 16 , 28 , 76 ]. Frozen section examination during surgery is useful for confirming diagnoses to avoid unnecessary extensive resections [ 5 , 7 , 77 ].…”

Traumatic neuroma (TN) is a disorganized proliferation of injured nerves arising from the axons and Schwann cells. Although TN rarely occurs in the abdominal cavity, the incidence of TN may be underestimated because of the large number of asymptomatic patients. TN can cause persistent pain, which seriously affects quality of life. TN of the biliary system can cause bile duct obstruction, leading to acute cholangitis. It is difficult to differentiate TN from malignancies or recurrence of malignancy, which results in a number of patients receiving aggressive treatment. We collected cases reports of intra-abdominal TN over the past 30 years form PubMed and cases diagnosed in our medical center over the past 20 years, which is the largest case series of intra-abdominal TN to the best of our knowledge. In this review, we discuss the epidemiology, pathophysiology, risk factors, classification, diagnosis, and management of intra-abdominal TN.
