Double Cystic Duct Not Detected by Imaging But Diagnosed on Intraoperative Dissection in Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report, Hatwan Hospital-Sulaimani Province-Kurdistan-Iraq

摘要

The incidence rate of bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy has not been changed for many years. This may be because of biliary tree abnormalities, as variation in cystic duct anatomy is quite common. One of the extremely rare anomalies is a double cystic duct. An old lady underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallstones. Without any clue for this anomaly in preoperative checkup, we found two cystic ducts during the laparoscopy. Operation completed laparoscopically, with smooth early and later postoperative checkups till now.
