Abstract

The right posterior segmental duct (RPSD) draining into the cystic duct is exceedingly rare. Ligation of the cystic duct in proximity to the junction of an aberrant right hepatic duct after a cholecystectomy can lead to life threatening complications. The present case study reveals a severed anomalous RPSD and subsequent Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy procedure employed to fix biliary anomaly.
