Can bile duct injuries during gallbladder surgery be prevented?

Some doctors think that using IOC more often will help reduce the number, or severity, of bile duct injuries, while other doctors believe that not all injuries can be prevented, even with IOC. Other doctors suggest that changes in how the surgery is performed and the equipment used will reduce the number of injuries. However, not all bile duct injuries can be prevented, so they remain a possible risk of gallbladder surgery.
