ObjectiveTo discuss the value of intraoperative cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC). MethodsRetrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 398 patients undergoing intraoperative cholangiography during LC from June 1996 to Dec 2004. ResultsForty cases of common bile duct stone, 3 cases of cystic duct stone, 53 cases of anomalous bile duct, and 6 cases of bile duct injury were detected. All patients were treated accordingly, and none died. ConlusionThe clinical use of cholangiography during LC can help to markedly reduce the incidence of residual bile stones and promptly detect bile duct injury and other serious complications.
