Right hemihepatectomy for ischemic liver necrosis after cholecystectomy

Abstract

Injury of the extrahepatic bile duct system during cholecystectomy is a complex problem in biliary surgery. Combined injuries of the bile ducts and vessels in the hepatoduodenal ligament significantly complicate treatment and increase mortality. Efficient revascularization is possible in a specialized clinic during the initial hours following the injury. Anatomical liver resection is a rescue technique for the surgical elimination of such complications. Herein, we present a case of a patient who underwent right hemihepatectomy.
