| Abstract | Background The role of intra-operative cholangiography (IOC) in laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is controversial. CT cholangiography (CTC) provides a reliable assessment of biliary anatomy, potentially reducing operating times, open conversion, and complication rates. This study aims to assess the safety and effectiveness of routine pre-operative CTC. Methods A single centre retrospective analysis was undertaken of all elective laparoscopic cholecystectomies between 2017 and 2021. Information was obtained from a general surgical database alongside hospital electronic medical records. T-tests and Chi2 tests were used to assess statistical significance. Results Of 1079 patients, 129 (12.0%) underwent routine pre-operative CTC, 786 (72.8%) routine IOC, and 161 patients (14.9%) neither modality. Comparing CTC and IOC, the CTC group had higher rates of open conversion (3.1% vs. 0.6%, p 0.009), subtotal cholecystectomies (3.1% vs. 0.8%, p 0.018), and length of stay (1.47 vs. 1.18 nights, p 0.015). Comparing the prior groups together against those utilising neither modality, the latter had reduced operative time (66.29 vs. 72.47, p 0.011), but increased rate of bile leak (1.9% vs. 0.4%, p 0.037) and bile duct injury (1.2% vs. 0.2%, p 0.049). Co-dependence between operative complications was noted in linear regression. Conclusion Biliary imaging with either CTC or IOC is beneficial in reducing bile leak and bile duct injury, and its routine use LC is recommended. However, routine CTC is inferior to routine IOC in preventing conversions to open surgery and subtotal cholecystectomy. Further research may be undertaken to evaluate criteria for a selective CTC protocol. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
