Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for a gallbladder with a short cystic duct draining to the accessory right anterior hepatic duct using indocyanine green fluorescence imaging: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionGallbladder with a short cystic duct draining to the accessory right anterior hepatic duct is a rare variation. It is frequently associated with bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We present a case of a gallbladder with this variation safely treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy using indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 57-year-old man had right upper quadrant pain and showed a gallbladder stone on a preoperative computed tomography. Bile duct anomaly was not detected before operation. However, a short cystic duct draining to the accessory right anterior hepatic duct intraoperatively was found using ICG fluorescence imaging. To confirm the exact anatomy, we firstly detached the gallbladder from the liver with a "fundus first technique" and visualized the whole course of the short cystic duct and the accessory right anterior with ICG fluorescence imaging. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy was completed safely. No bile leakage was detected on ICG fluorescence imaging. The patient had no postoperative complication. DISCUSSION: Accessory right hepatic duct is one of the rare variations of bile duct. It can be related to bile duct injury during laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Although it can be injured easily because of its smaller size, we can identify the short cystic duct from it with the aid of ICG fluorescence imaging without injuring the accessory right anterior hepatic duct.
conclusionLaparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallbladder with a short cystic duct draining to the accessory right anterior hepatic duct can be safely performed by identifying biliary anatomy with ICG fluorescence imaging.
