Percutaneous Management of Bile Leaks

Digestive Disease Interventions
Abstract Biliary leaks can occur as complications of many surgical procedures and as a result of trauma. Although some leaks can be managed conservatively, a significant proportion requires invasive intervention, percutaneously, endoscopically, and/or surgically. This review provides a general approach to the evaluation and management

Unusual Scintigraphic Pattern for Postsurgical Bile Leak

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1993
The use of Tc-99m DISIDA for imaging of bile leaks following biliary tract surgery has been well documented. Scintigraphic patterns demonstrating extra-biliary tract radiotracer accumulation include free tracer in the peritoneal cavity, as well as accumulations of tracer in the right paracolic gutter, gallbladder fossa, and over the surface of the ...

Management of bile leaks following laparoscopic cholecystectomy

Surgical Endoscopy, 1993
In a series of 650 consecutive laparoscopic cholecystectomies, nine bile leaks were identified (1.4%). Patients with bile leaks presented clinically at a mean of 4.9 days (range: 3-8 days) after surgery complaining of diffuse abdominal pain, ileus, and nausea. Laboratory values for complete blood counts and liver function tests were all mildly elevated.

Nasobiliary Tube Management of Postcholecystectomy Bile Leaks

Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 2005
Endobiliary stenting is the traditional form of endoprosthetic drainage for biliary leaks. Nasobiliary tubes offer the advantage of easy removal and interval tube cholangiograms to assess leak resolution.To determine the efficacy of nasobiliary tube drainage in patients with postcholecystectomy biliary leaks and provide our experience with management ...

Bile Leak from Choledochal Cyst in a Child

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1991
Ultrasound of the abdomen in a 3-year-old girl suggested the presence of a choledochal cyst. A hepatobiliary study was consistent with such a cyst. Delayed images, however, revealed periabdominal activity, suggesting a bile leak. At surgery, the choledochal cyst was confirmed and noted to be the source of bile leakage.

Diagnosis of postoperative bile leaks.

The American journal of gastroenterology, 1994
Bile leaks are the most common biliary complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Cholescintigraphy has been utilized in the past to diagnose postoperative bile leaks after open cholecystectomy. However, the sensitivity and specificity of this imaging technique has not been defined or compared to other clinical tests. We have retrospectively studied

Pathophysiology of Bile Leak, Bile Loss, and Biliary Obstruction

2020
Bile duct injury can cause significant short-term morbidity and long-term complications resulting in lifelong disability and even death. The pathophysiological effects of bile duct injury may range from a self-limiting innocuous bile leak to severe biliary and systemic sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome, and even death in short-term and ...
