Abstract Objective: To study the clinical value of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography(MRCP) in the diagnosis of biliary duct injury caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: From January 2000 to September 2006, 9 patients with benign biliary stricture caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy were examined with MRCP. Among them, 3 cases were male and 6 cases were female, age ranged from 29～65 years. The time of syndrome occurrence after operation was between 1 day and 2 years, of them 6 cases were within one month. Results: The stricture was located in the middle and upper part of common bile duct in 7 cases and in proximal part of extra hepatic duct in 2 cases. The feature of MRCP included circumferential stricture in 3 cases, string-like stricture in 3 cases, club-like stricture in 2 cases and cut-off stricture in 1 case. Conclusion: MRCP has an important value in the diagnosis of biliary duct injury caused by laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
