[Peroperative cholangiography in liver trauma (author's transl)]

Peroperative cholangiography is the simplest means of assessing pedicular lesions situated in the depth of a traumatic breach in the liver. Its interest is illustrated by a series of 13 cholangiographies which greatly facilitated the therapeutic indications, conservative operation or partial liver removal depending on the lesions encountered. Its use should be more widespread and should reduce the frequency of reoperations following initially inadequate surgical exploration.
