The incidence of bile duct injuries(BDI)following open cholecystectomy is 0.1-0.2% and following laparoscopic cholecystectomy is 0.3-0.6%.;i.e.,3 times more. Untreated Bile duct injuries can lead to stricture formation & thereby secondary biliary cirrhosis. Reference: Bailey & Love&;s sho practise of surgery,25th edition, page no:1124
The incidence following open cholecystectomy is in the range of 0.2 - 0.3%
The incidence rate following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy is three times higher than the rates following Open cholesystectomy
