Abstract
Because of the paucity of adequate training models for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration, a live porcine training model was developed and evaluated. This model requires preliminary laparoscopic ligation of the distal bile duct 7–14 days prior to utilization. It aids the development of skills for laparoscopic common bile duct exploration and should enhance the subsequent performance of these procedures.
