Complications produced by the sectioning of a nonvisualized duct of Luschka are uncommon during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. From 1999 through 2003, we performed 1351 laparoscopic cholecystectomies in our department and observed 2 cases (0.15%) of bile leakage due to duct of Luschka injury. Injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy is usually produced by an excessively deep plane of dissection and by the anatomical localization of this accessory duct. Clinical symptoms are scarce after duct of Luschka injury. Numerous diagnostic methods have been used to detect these injuries. Nevertheless, careful clinical examination is still of the utmost importance. Noninvasive treatments are usually effective. In patients who present with acute abdomen, as in our cases, or who are not cured by noninvasive treatments, exploratory laparotomy is the best approach. The surgical treatment consists of a lavage of the abdominal cavity, closure of the duct of Luschka, and intraoperative cholangiography to confirm that the biliary tree is intact.
