Abstract

The complexity of hepatobiliary procedures continues to evolve at a rapid rate, with an increasing number of living donor liver transplants and extensive cancer resections being performed. The associated complications are a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, and are often complex injuries, involving both vascular and biliary structures. In this paper we describe the complications associated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy, liver transplant surgery, and hepatic resection. Focus is on the classical imaging appearances, imaging modality options, and varying management strategies for these injuries, to show how the radiologist's role is vital in ensuring the correct diagnosis is made and the appropriate treatment is instigated.
