<strong>Laparoscopic</strong><br />
<strong>Cholecystectomy</strong><br />
• Intraoperative conversion of biliary injury is<br />
usually an indication for conversion.<br />
• Simple type D injuries are repaired by closure of<br />
the defect using fine absorbable sutures over a T-<br />
tube and placement of a closed suction drain in the<br />
vicinity of the repair.<br />
• Type D injuries that are thermal in origin or that<br />
are complex are best repaired by<br />
hepaticojejunostomy.
