Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the treatment of choice for symptomatic gall stones. There does, however, appear to be an increased incidence of bile duct injuries. In this article, experience with eight patients who sustained a bile duct injury and were referred to the Hepatobiliary Selvice at Westmead Hospital, between 1990 and 1992, is reported.Keywords
