The frequency and significance of right hepatic artery injury associated with bile duct injury after laparoscopic cholecystectomy is unknown. Many reports suggest that a concomitant arterial injury worsens the outcome and prognosis of the bile duct injury even after an initially successful biliary repair. The optimal management of this complicated injury is controversial. We report a surgical technique to repair the right hepatic artery injury in these cases. We believe this technique is useful for surgeons who opt to repair the arterial injury at the time of biliary reconstruction, especially if it is performed soon after the injury occurred, before permanent damage to the liver and biliary system is established. To the best of our knowledge, this technique was not reported in the literature previously.

Abstract An intact hepatic artery is the gateway to successful hepato-biliary surgery. Introduction of laproscopic cholecystectomy (LC) has stimulated a renewed interest in the anatomy of hepatic artery. In this case report we have highlighted importance of variations of right hepatic artery in terms of origin and course We present a rare asymptomatic case of liver atrophy due to an intraoperative lesion of right hepatic artery. We also performed a literature review about surgical vascular lesions and tried to confirm the right concept behind “non trivial procedure” of the LC.
