"Subvesical/subvesicular bile ducts are variants of the biliary tree, and knowledge of these is important because they account for a significant portion of post-cholecystectomy bile leaks."
"Cholecystohepatic ducts (usually segment 5 to the gallbladder) are commonly known as bile duct(s) of Luschka. Still, this terminology is not favoured because the original description does not fit with the knowledge of variant biliary tree anatomy 1."
"Hubert von Luschka (1820-1875) was a German anatomist active in the second half of the nineteenth century who was one of the first anatomists to research normal, as well as diseased, cadavers. He has lent his eponym to quite an impressive range of structures, at least 23 by one reckoning 4!"

"Subvesical bile ducts may occasionally be seen on ERCP (sometimes intraoperative ERCP), but damage to cholecystohepatic ducts is often inferred from a postcholecystectomy bile leak, which may be detected through cholescintigraphy."
