Abstract
A case of a postcholecystectomy patient is presented in which an initially grossly dilated common hepatic duct returned to normal size within several min. An attempt was made to explain this phenomenon using known facts about bile duct elasticity and bile flow. Such rapid size change probably only occurs in those patients without a normally functioning gallbladder.
