Operative cholangiography was first used by Mirizzi in 1932, but still has not gained general acceptance by surgeons. With these facts in mind, this article reviews 31 cholecystectomies, 20 having been performed by the author, in which operative cholangiography was used, and discusses its technique, difficulties and results.
