title: [The application of intraoperative cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To evaluate the role of intraoperative cholangiography in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).
  
  
  METHODS
  Intraoperative cholangiography was attempted in 1 466 patients, and was successfully completed in 1382 patients. The success rate was 94.27%.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Stones in the common bile duct in 92 patients, bile duct injury in 8 patients and abnormal bile duct in one patient were found.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Intraoperative cholangiography is an accurate and safe procedure, can provide clear films of biliary tree, and has a high success rate. Its application can reduce the rate of bile duct injury and improve the quality of LC.
