Abstract:
Cholangiography does not prevent bile duct injury, but if performed properly, it can identify impending injury before hand. We present a modified form of laparoscopic cholecystcholangiography; only 5 min are required to perform this technique. Some 408 consecutive peroperative cholangiographies are analyzed. We recommend this method, which decreases the risk of bile duct injuries, reveals occult bile duct stones in 4.2%, and gives the opportunity to approximate the gold standard of cholecystectomies.
