title: Importance of cystic pedicle dissection in laparoscopic cholecystectomy in order to avoid the common bile duct injuries.
abstract: The dissection of the cystic pedicle represents the "main" issue in performing the cholecystectomy, as well as the surgical moment when many accidents may happen. The paper analyzes the most frequent causes, which can generate iatrogenic injuries of the common bile duct (CBD) during the dissection of the cystic pedicle, such as the ductal and vascular anatomical variants, the local pathological transformation, human errors, etc.
