Abstract

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is the gold standard in the treatment of symptomatic gallstones. The large number of gallbladders removed every year is not fully consistent with the excessively high incidence of iatrogenic bile duct injury (IBDI). Several strategies have been suggested to reduce this risk. Among them, the use of extra biliary anatomic structures, such as the Rouvière's sulcus, as a landmark to guide the surgeon during dissection has been proposed as a means to prevent IBDI. The main aim of the present paper is the evaluation of the prevalence of Rouvière's sulcus (RS) and its anatomic variants in a given population.

Materials and methods: This observational, cross-sectional, and multicenter study has been conducted at the Department of Digestive and Emergency Surgery of the "Azienda Ospedaliera Santa Maria," Terni (Italy), at the Department of Surgical Sciences of the "Azienda Ospedaliera Perugia," Perugia (Italy) and at the Department of Emergency and Trauma Surgery of the "Policlinico Umberto I," Rome (Italy). Intraoperative images of 111 patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy were analyzed to identify the presence and type of RS, according to the Singh-Prasad classification and the Dahmane classification.

Results: RS was present in 93 (83.8%) patients. Singh-Prasad type 1A is present in 48.4% of patients, type 1B in 25.8%, type 2 in 12.9% and type 3 in 12.9%. Dahmane's open type is present in 48.4% of patients and fused type in 51.6%.

Conclusion: Due to its high prevalence, RS can be used as an anatomic landmark and probably reduces the incidence of IBDI during laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
