Abstract

The incidence of choledocholithiasis (CDL) has been shown to be around 10% when intra-operative cholangiography (IOC) is practised routinely during cholecystectomy [1–3]. The advent of laparoscopic cholecystectomy has enlivened the debate between those who defend systematic intra-operative opacification of the common bile duct (CBD) [4–6] and those who advocate a selective approach [7, 8] based on certain predictive factors [9, 10]. IOC remains an invaluable tool for the detection of asymptomatic stones, as well as the prevention and/or detection of possible CBD injuries [11–13]. Regarding the latter, authors such as Wright [14] have suggested that IOC is not a prerequisite for the safe performance of laparoscopic cholecystectomy and cannot be relied upon to prevent all biliary injuries.
