The management of bile duct injuries during laparoscopic cholecystectomy remains a critical challenge in hepatobiliary surgery. Although infrequent, these injuries can result in severe clinical ...

In Medicare beneficiaries with varying levels of risk for adverse postoperative outcomes, the rate of bile duct injury is three times higher with robotic-assisted cholecystectomy than with ...

The optimal use of robotic-assisted versus laparoscopic approaches for emergency gallbladder surgery is not well-defined. Rates of bile duct injury were similar with both surgical approaches, a large ...

Rates of bile duct injury a year after gallbladder removal surgery were lower with laparoscopic procedures than robotic-assisted ones, a retrospective study of Medicare beneficiaries found.
