title: [Iatrogenic biliary tract injuries].
abstract: From 1984 to 1986 The Medico-Legal Council was heard concerning four cases of iatrogenic lesions of the common bile duct during cholecystectomy. The Council's statements show that lesions of the common bile duct or the common hepatic duct during otherwise uncomplicated, elective cholecystectomy are considered surgical malpractice and not accidental mishaps.
