Abstract
This is a case of a patient who underwent an elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy after previously presenting with acute cholecystitis. His operation was complicated by a high common hepatic duct (CHD) injury requiring complex surgical repair. This case highlights the importance of the early recognition of this type of injury and the utility of a Kasai portoenterostomy as an operative repair in high CHD injuries in the absence of an extrahepatic duct viable for repair.
