Abstract: Iatrogenic bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy has an incidence rate of 1-2%. The small size of the duct, multiple anatomical variations, and inflammatory conditions make it ...

Intraoperative laparoscopic ultrasonography (LUS) or intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) can be used for visualisation of the biliary tract during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The aim of this ...
