Liver and Biliary Disease

Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy with intraoperative cholangiogram. More than 2500 cholecystectomies were performed by Dr. Katkhouda in ten years without a single bile duct injury following very strict surgical principles. This procedure is now performed on an outpatient basis.

Laparoscopic Common Bile Duct Exploration including laparoscopic T-tube placement (see sidebar). This advanced technique alleviates the need to perform a preoperative ERCP. When performed successfully, the hospital stay has been reduced to three days.
