  • Title: Endoscopic treatment of postoperative biliary leak.
    Author: Sreenivas DV, Kumar YR, Kumar A.
    Journal: Trop Gastroenterol; 1996; 17(4):225-6. PubMed ID: 9094864.
    Abstract:
    External biliary leak is a rare complication of biliary tract surgery. We report six cases in which postoperative biliary-cutaneous fistulae were treated successfully by endoscopic sphincterotomy and endoprosthesis placement. This procedure is safe, associated with minimum morbidity and appears to be a viable alternative to surgery in the management of biliary leaks.
