Bile duct injury following laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Abstract
Iatrogenic biliary injury following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is uncommon, but carries considerable morbidity and often requires complex management. Biliary injuries require a multidisciplinary approach, with radiological, endoscopic and operative interventions all playing a significant role in their subsequent management.
