[Significance of dislocation of the intrahepatic bile ducts in opisthorchiasis].

Clinico-anatomical examination of 547 patients with chronic opisthorchiasis has revealed the dislocation of intrahepatic biliary ducts onto the gallbladder wall and into the prolonged left triangular ligament of the liver. The authors believe that in order to prevent biliary peritonitis after operation on the organs of the upper part of the abdominal cavity, the ducts should not be injured during the operation, they should be ligated prior to cholecystectomy and section of the left triangular ligament.
