Endoscopic repair of Strasberg type D bile duct injury following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: an unconventional approach

Abstract Background and Aims: Bile duct injury (BDI) is a rare but serious adverse event of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Prompt diagnosis using imaging and endoscopic tools is essential. Although most minor BDIs (Strasberg types A-C) might be managed with ERCP, major injuries (types D and E) typically require surgical intervention. This case highlights an unconventional approach in which a Strasberg type D injury was successfully managed with ERCP alone. Methods: We present a case of Strasberg type D BDI following
