Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the role of intraoperative cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). METHODS: Intraoperative cholangiography was attempted in 1 466 patients, and was successfully completed in 1382 patients. The success rate was 94.27%. RESULTS: Stones in the common bile duct in 92 patients, bile duct injury in 8 patients and abnormal bile duct in one patient were found. CONCLUSIONS: Intraoperative cholangiography is an accurate and safe procedure, can provide clear films of biliary tree, and has a high success rate. Its application can reduce the rate of bile duct injury and improve the quality of LC.
