PY - 2014 TI - Intra-operative cholangiography is not necessary in avoiding bile duct injury (ten years review) JF - Revista Portuguesa de Cirurgia; No 28 (2014): Março 2014 - II Série KW - N2 - The debate about routine intra-operative cholangiography (IOC) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is still open. Bile duct injuries remain the main complication of this procedure. The question is: how to avoid the most feared complication of LC? The authors report a retrospective study of 1111 LC underwent in their department the last ten years. IOC wasn’t done in most cases due to pre operative performances of ultrasound and bili-MRI. Their own technique has given them good results despite this. Their experience allows them to declare that this x-ray exam is not necessary during the procedure in most of patients presenting gallstone disease.  Keywords: bile duct injuries, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, prevention  UR - https://revista.spcir.com/index.php/spcir/article/view/355
