Abstract
Extrahepatic biliary tree injuries are uncommon, but isolated extrahepatic biliary tree injuries are extremely rare and are usually associated with other injuries. The most common associated injuries include liver, spleen, and/or duodenal injuries. Due to their rarity and generally insidious onset of symptoms, extrahepatic biliary tree injuries are often overlooked during the initial trauma evaluation, which can lead to significant associated morbidity. Their management, considering hemodynamic stability and imaging findings, includes nonoperative and surgical management, which may include minimally invasive (laparoscopy), open surgery, and/or endoscopy. We present the case of a 28-year-old male patient admitted with a gunshot wound to the abdomen. Surgical findings included a laceration of the cystic duct, with no associated injuries. A cholecystectomy is performed. Following surgery, the patient made satisfactory postoperative progress and was subsequently discharged.
