Gunshot liver trauma with disruption of the right hepatic duct managed by surgery, radiology, and endoscopy: a case report.

During the process of treating a complicated gunshot wound of an upper limb, chest, abdomen, and spine, there appeared-sometime after the initial treatment-a necrosis of the right hepatic duct in the bullet path within the liver. Although laparotomy was the life-saving operation during the first and second period, the final diagnosis and solution were based on bypassing the defect, i.e., a combination of a percutaneous and endoscopic approach. The efficiency of this method was also proved by an examination carried out 1 year after the end of the treatment.
