Abstract: The formation of gallstones in gall bladder is very common. It is now considered that approximately 10% to 15% of the adult population has gallstones. It is more frequent in women than men. Etiologies are various & include: age, sex, diet, sudden weight loss, etc. Although laparoscopic cholecystectomy is treatment of choice in cholelithiasis however, some surgeons still prefer a traditional open cholecystectomy. Generally a safe procedure with limited morbidity and mortality, open cholecystectomy does carry risk for potential complications. Perhaps the most morbid complication related to open cholecystectomy is injury to the common bile duct. We present the case of a 38 year old female admitted to our hospital with complete transection of common bile duct during open cholecystectomy which was successfully treated. In conclusion, CBD injury is not an uncommon complication of open cholecystectomy and should be suspected in a post-op case of cholecystectomy presenting as acute abdomen.
