(en) Although widely practiced, cholecystectomy can expose patients to serious biliary injuries, including biliary leakage, stenosis, and more rarely section of the common bile duct (CBD). We report here the case of a 29-year-old woman who had previously undergone sleeve gastrectomy. She presented with acute cholecystitis ([Fig. 1]) and underwent a laparoscopic cholecystectomy. In the days following surgery, significant cholestasis became apparent, although without obvious symptoms. A computed tomography (CT) scan and magnetic resonance cholangiography did not reveal any major biliary lesions, but a collection was observed in the cholecystectomy site, with minor hepatic perfusion disorder.
