Abstract
Biliary tract operations are the most common GI tract surgery performed worldwide and injury to the bile duct leads to both acute and chronic complications. The incidence of bile duct injury is increased in the presence of severe inflammation and is compounded by congenital abnormalities of the biliary tree. Congenitally absent cystic duct is one such rare anomaly with significant surgical implications. So far, only nine clear cases of congenitally absent cystic duct have been reported.
