Abstract

Bile duct injuries (BDI) have an incidence that could reach 0.1- 0.3% during open and laparoscopic cholecystectomy, respectively. Nevertheless, they can cause severe complications that could substantially impact the patient’s quality of life. At worst, all these conditions can evolve into septic shock and finally to the patient’s death.
