Abstract
An inflammatory environment is the main risk factor for biliary injury during cholecystectomy. Bile duct injury is more frequent with laparoscopic cholecystectomy but can also occur with an open approach. Intraoperative cholangiography does not prevent biliary injuries nor detect them accurately. Biliary drainage can reduce morbidity for intraoperatively detected injuries and may be a sensitive approach for the surgeon with no hepatobiliary experience. Morbidity is increased in patients with delayed identification of the injury.
