===Complication=== {{main|Biliary injury|Biloma}} Biliary injury (bile duct injury) is the traumatic damage of the [[bile ducts]]. It is most commonly an [[iatrogenic]] complication of [[cholecystectomy]] β surgical removal of [[gall bladder]], but can also be caused by other operations or by [[major trauma]]. The risk of biliary injury is more during laparoscopic cholecystectomy than during open cholecystectomy. Biliary injury may lead to several complications and may even cause death if not diagnosed in time and managed properly. Ideally biliary injury should be managed at a center with facilities and expertise in [[endoscopy]], [[radiology]] and surgery.<ref>{{citation | author=VK Kapoor | title=Bile duct injury repair: when? what? who? | journal=Journal of Hepato-Biliary-Pancreatic Surgery | year=2007 | volume=14 | issue=5 | pages=476β479 | pmid=17909716 | doi=10.1007/s00534-007-1220-y}}</ref> Biloma is collection of [[bile]] within the [[abdominal cavity]]. It happens when there is a bile leak, for example after surgery for removing the gallbladder ([[laparoscopic cholecystectomy]]), with an incidence of 0.3β2%. Other causes are biliary surgery, [[liver biopsy]], [[abdominal trauma]], and, rarely, spontaneous perforation.<ref>{{cite book |last=Dolan |first=R.D. |last2=Storm |first2=A.C. |last3=Thompson |first3=C.C. |chapter=Endoscopic management of acute biliary & pancreatic conditions |chapter-url=https://accessmedicine.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?bookid=3204§ionid=266864223 |editor-last=Friedman |editor-first=S. |editor2-last=Blumberg |editor2-first=R.S. |editor3-last=Saltzman |editor3-first=J.R. |title=Greenberger's CURRENT Diagnosis & Treatment Gastroenterology, Hepatology, & Endoscopy |publisher=McGraw Hill Education |edition=4e |date=2022 |isbn=978-1-260-47343-8 }}</ref>
