Abstract
Bile duct injuries (BDIs) are difficult to avoid absolutely when the biliary tract has a malformation, such as accessory hepatic duct. Here, we investigated the management strategies for BDI combined with accessory hepatic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Keywords: Bile duct injuries; Accessory hepatic duct; Laparoscopic cholecystectomy; Management strategies; Hepatoenterostomy
Core tip: We reviewed the management strategies of four cases of bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy because of accessory hepatic duct. The results will help surgeons select the appropriate treatment strategy.
