Cholecystohepatic duct. 1978

T L Stokes, and L Old

Review of embryologic and surgical literature emphasizes the great variability in biliary ducts. Major cholecystohepatic ducts are rare, although accessory bile ducts are common. A rare case of intrahepatic junction of right and left hepatic ducts providing drainage through a single cholecystohepatic duct is presented. Chlolecystectomy and primary anastomosis of hepatic ducts and duodenum was successful. We know of no report of a precisely similar case. Awareness of the possibility of these anomalies should increase their reported incidence and decrease the severe morbidity and mortality attending failure of recognition.
