This article provides a review of the literature on bile duct injuries after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Laparascopy is considered the gold standard in the treatment of gallstone disease. This technique has a number of positive advantages: minimally invasiveness, quick rehabilitation, a shorter hospital stay, a good cosmetic effect, and a low lethal outcome. Along with these advantages, the number of complications also increased: damage to the bile ducts, hepatic vessels, bile leakage, formation of strictures, defects in drainage of the biliary tract and improper treatment of the cystic duct, insufficient drainage of the abdominal cavity. Today, many aspects of surgical treatment and prevention of bile duct injuries remain controversial and are still considered relevant. The main reasons for this complication are: lack of experience of the surgeon, inattention, ignorance of the main options and possible anomalies of important anatomical structures in the area of the hepatic hilum and hepato-duodenal ligament, technical errors.
