Abstract:
The introduction of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been associated with a rise in the number of reported bile duct injuries (0.3%-0.8%). Significant vascular injuries are rare (0.16%), but may lead to life-threatening complications. We present a case report of a patient undergoing transplantation for a laparoscopic cholecystectomy injury.
