Review
We report a case of an anomalous junction of the cystic duct with the left hepatic duct found during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Only five other patients with this anatomy have been reported. Two of these five patients had left-sided gallbladders, and the remaining patients (including ours) had their gallbladder in its normal location. Although the prevalence of this anomaly associated with left-sided gallbladders is 5.6 to 14.3%, this anomaly appears to be quite rare in patients with gallbladders in the normal position. In four cases, it was accompanied by left-sided gallbladder or low bifurcation of the common hepatic duct. This rare condition may accompany other biliary anomalies and should be kept in mind when performing cholecystectomy.

Percutaneous treatments, including thoracic duct embolization (TDE) and thoracic duct disruption (TDD), are reportedly effective and safe alternatives to surgical thoracic duct ligation for refractory chylothorax. When catheterization of the thoracic duct is impossible, TDD can be performed as long as the thoracic duct can be opacified by lymphangiography. However, no report has described percutaneous treatment when the thoracic duct cannot be visualized. In this case, TDE was not feasible because intranodal lymphangiography failed to opacify the thoracic duct: cannulation was not achieved. Therefore, we aimed to disrupt the thoracic duct by puncturing the retrocrural area where it was anatomically suspected to be located. Chylothorax improved thereafter. In cases without lymphangiographic thoracic duct visualization, TDD by puncturing the retrocrural space might improve refractory chylothorax.

Bile duct injury can occur more frequently during laparoscopic cholecystectomy than in open cholecystectomy. Three cases of common bile or hepatic duct injuries occurred in a series of eighty laparoscopic cholecystectomies; In case 1, the common bile duct was misidentified as the cystic duct. In case 2, bile peritonitis occurred on the fourth postoperative day caused by necrosis of the common hepatic duct involving the cautery surrounding it. In case 3, a bile leak occurred due to an incision at the confluence of the cystic and common duct. Dissection of the cystic duct at the infundibulum of the gallbladder, blunt dissection of the Calot's triangle, the handling of clips with special attention for safety were thought to be necessary in order to lower the risk of bile duct injury. Preoperative endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERCP) is recommended to avoid bile duct injury.

Accessory hepatic ducts are relatively rare biliary anomalies. They have been reported only sporadically, and very few reports have described their sonographic (US) findings. Our experience with two such cases suggested that a diagnosis of an accessory hepatic duct should be considered when US shows a fine tubular structure or an anechoic or hypoechoic oval mass with acoustic shadowing at the level between the hepatic hilus and the common bile duct. A good knowledge of the US findings will determine the diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
