The Role of the Extraperitoneal Drainage in the Corrective Surgery of the Intraoperative-Discovered Accidental Lesions of the…

In this classification, the author is taking into consideration the remaining intact bile duct length and does not include bile collections that may arise from a bilistasis defect in the cystic duct or the liver bed, nor the lateral solutions of continuity of the main bile duct and right hepatic duct.
