Clinical Application of the Hanover Classification for Iatrogenic Bile Duct Lesions

Figure 2

Shown is an illustration of an iatrogenic bile duct lesion which is characterized by stenosis of the common bile duct (ductus hepatocholedochus, DHC) which may be caused by a clip. According to the Hanover Classification and as described and shown previously [1], such a lesion would be labelled as a type B lesion (permission to use this figure has been obtained from the publisher).
