Surgical significance of persistent cholecystohepatic ducts. 1989

V N Ortiz, and E Vidal, and J S Padilla

Anatomical variations of the biliary tract occur frequently enough so as to worry the general surgeon dealing with this problem. Generally speaking, these anatomical variations are not identified prior to surgery. Anomalous drainage of the common hepatic duct into the gall bladder was identified while performing a cholecystectomy. The common bile duct proximal to the cystic duct was atretic. The problem described above was successfully managed by hepatico-jejunostomy.
