Laparoscopic bile duct injury: some myths

Thomas B Hugh. ANZ J Surg. 2002 Feb.

Abstract

Bile duct injury is a serious and feared complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Examination of four frequently repeated statements about this problem in the literature, and in the medico-legal expert reports indicate that these statements are not supported by valid data and, therefore, can be termed 'myths'.
