Sumario:INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Intraoperative cholangiogram has always been a critical procedure that allows identification of biliary anatomy, thereby reducing the risks of bile duct injuries. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a unique case where the intraoperative cholangiogram highlighted a suspected duodenal injury. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: This case discusses the intraoperative steps taken to ensure there was no injury, highlight the importance of cholangiogram interpretation as a skill for all surgeons. CONCLUSION: Intraoperative cholangiogram is a crucial procedure to highlight both biliary and non-biliary anatomy and can be used to identify duodenal injuries as was assessed in our case.
