Intraoperative cholangiography during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Should we follow the recommendations of the current guidelines?

Abstractsince it was proposed by Strasberg in 1995, the concept of Critical View of Safety (CVS) has progressively gained acceptance worldwide, until it became the most recommended method for preventing biliary duct injury (BDI) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.1 Conversely, the use of routine intraoperative cholangiography (IOC) has gradually decreased, due to several limiting factors such as availability of local resources, expertise to interpret cholangiograms, additional operating time, and the rarity of BDI and choledocholithiasis.
