Ducts of Luschka
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ducts of Luschka (also called supravesicular ducts) are small bile ducts in the posterior wall of the gallbladder (the gallbladder bed), some connected to a subsegmental area of the liver with bile ducts but none connected with the lumen of the gallbladder; they may be aberrant bile ducts. Although usually they do not drain any liver parenchyma, they can be a source of bile leak or biliary peritonitis after cholecystectomy in both adults and children.
