Abstract
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy has now become the treatment of choice fo r symptomatic gall stones. There does, however, appear to be an increa sed incidence of bile duct injuries. In this article, experience with eight patients who sustained a bile duct injury and were referred to t he Hepatobiliary Service at Westmead Hospital, between 1990 and 1992, is reported.
