Abstract: | We report a case of acute cholangitis caused by the inadvertent ligation of the right hepatic duct during a cholecystectomy performed 11 years before. When the condition of the right hepatic duct or accessory bile duct ligation persists for more than several years, resulting in atrophy of the relevant part of the liver, bile duct ligation will rarely cause severe clinical problems. However, acute cholangitis may occur, as in our patient, so long-term follow-up of the patient is warranted. |
