    Routine intraoperative cholangiography accurately diagnoses common bile duct stones and identifies anomalies, preventing injury. This safe, cost-effective procedure is valuable in cholecystectomy for nonmalignant disease.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • The diagnostic value of routine intraoperative cholangiography during cholecystectomy remains debated.
    • Assessing its accuracy and cost-effectiveness is crucial for clinical practice.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative cholangiography.
    • To determine the additional cost and impact on operative time.
    • To assess its utility in preventing common bile duct injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 352 consecutive cholecystectomies for nonmalignant disease.
    • Intraoperative cholangiography performed in all but 11 patients.
    • Correlation of cholangiogram findings with common bile duct exploration outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • Cholangiography demonstrated high accuracy (46/49 correct diagnoses) in identifying common bile duct issues.
    • Unsuspected common bile duct stones were found in 5% of patients.
    • The procedure added minimal time (5 minutes) with negligible morbidity/mortality.
    • Routine cholangiography aided in preventing iatrogenic trauma by identifying anomalies.

    Conclusions:

    • Routine intraoperative cholangiography is accurate, safe, and cost-effective.
    • It is valuable for diagnosing common bile duct stones and anomalies.
    • It aids in preventing iatrogenic bile duct injury during cholecystectomy.
