Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has quickly eclipsed open cholecystectomy as the standard approach to symptomatic gallstones and acalculous biliary disease. Procedure-related morbidity and mortality continue to be defined, but a higher incidence of bile duct injuries has been reported to date using present technology and procedure. Key principles in the management of these problems include definition of the anatomy, relief of any impedance to biliary-enteric flow, and drainage of significant extrahepatic fluid collections. A cooperative, multispecialty approach involving surgeons, radiologists, and gastroenterologists is critical to successful outcomes. Future studies will help streamline the management of bile duct injuries and aid physicians in their selection of the best approach for each individual patient.
