Objective  To comment the diagnosis and treatment the bile leakage from the injuried abnormal minute biliary in our laparosicopic cholecystectomy (LC) practice.
Methods  Fourteen cases of minute biliary duct injury in 2 050 cases of LC were studied retrospectively. Among them, 6 cases had been found the points of leakage during operation, and the points were treated by titanium nips. In 4 cases even though the bile leakage could be seen, but the points of leakage could not found, and were treated by drainage. Four cases with peritonitis, 1 needed to be explored, and treated with suture ligature, 1 was explored by laparoscopy again, another two cases were treated with multiple hole catheters to drainage of the abdominal cavities through stab wounds.
Results  All 14 cases recovered.
Conclusion  Small bile leakage in LC is almost inevitable. It is the best that the bile leakage can be discovered during operation and to be treated. If it is discovered after operation, an open or laparoscopic exploratory laparotomy and adequate drainage would be needed. In the case of small amount of leakage, catheter drainage through stab wound is feasible.
