Abstract

Injuries to the biliary tract are a major problem in biliary surgery.

The lack of knowledge of the anatomical variations of the biliary tract is the main reason for this in biliary surgery. These are similar to the injuries to the bile ducts that occur during cholecystectomy.

(1) The incidence of these conditions has risen significantly as a result of the development of new surgical techniques.

Laparoscopic surgery has become the "gold standard" in the treatment of gallstones. This is due to surgeons' experience with open cholecystectomy.

We present the case of a patient undergoing surgery for cholelithiasis. Intraoperative cholangiography revealed a posterior paramedian duct.

Systematic intraoperative cholangiography candetect anatomical variations in the bile ducts, thus avoiding life-threatening trauma to the bile ducts.

Keywords: Bile ducts, anatomical variations, intraoperative cholangiography, cholangio, IRM
