Abstract:

Bile leakage may develop as a result of traumatic or iatrogenic injuries of bile ducts during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). The frequency of Luschka duct injuries during LC is extremely rare. In this case, we present a case of bile leakage due to Luschka duct injury during sleeve gastrectomy (SG) and LC. The leakage was not noticed during the surgery, and on postoperative day 2, bilious drainage was seen from the drain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was helpful to determine Luschka duct injury. Biliary leakage resolved after endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with stent placement.
