[The cystic duct stump after laparoscopic cholecystectomy].

The aim of this study was to evaluate the length of cystic-duct stumps after laparoscopic cholecystectomy. 113 patients underwent intravenous cholangiography 2 to 3 months postoperatively, whereby a cystic-duct remnant of up to 1 cm was found in 34.5% (n = 39) and between 1 and 2 cm in 36.
