Hepatobiliary-Specific MRI Contrast Agent Detection of Subvesical Duct (Luschka's) Injury Post-Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report

Abstract

Post-laparoscopic cholecystectomy bile duct injuries, especially involving Luschka’s duct, are concerning. Biliary tree anomalies and the efficacy of intravenous administration of Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in detecting bile leakage are reported based on a case. Teaching Point: Hepatobiliary-specific MRI-contrast agents prove valuable for noninvasive assessment of bile leakage after cholecystectomy.
