Abstract:
Objective To investigate how to avoid and deal with injuries to the aberrant right posterior hepatic duct during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Method We studied 1 710 patients who underwent LC in our unit from January 2011 to November 2013.There were 5 patients with right posterior hepatic duct abnormally,and this paper analysed the cases.Results In the 5 patients,one patient had the right posterior hepatic duct draining into the gallbladder body (Ⅰ A type),two patients had the right posterior hepatic duct draining into the cystic duct (ⅢA type),and two patients had the cystic duct draining into the right posterior hepatic duct (ⅢB type).There was no damage to the right posterior hepatic duct during operation.One patient was converted from LC to open operation.The major aberrance was class Ⅲ.Conclusions Variant bile duct is an important cause of bile duct injuries during LC.The right posterior hepatic duct variation is the most common form.To raise our vigilance and fully understand the types of aberrant right posterior hepatic duct,reasonable use of preoperative MRCP and intraoperative cholangiography in selected patients are fundamental.Aberrant right posterior hepatic duct injuries can effectively be avoided.
