Intraoperative cholangiogram with cholecystectomy is a routinely performed procedure in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT).The objective of this study was to determine the frequency of gall bladder pathology in healthy living donors and whether routine histopathology can be omitted. This was a retrospective review of 366 donors who underwent donor hepatectomy between 2012 and 2016.
