Özet
Biliary fistula is an infrequent but serious complication which usually occurs following biliary tract surgery. In this study treatment consisted of standard sphincterotomy and if necessary, stone extraction with or without endoprosthesis placement. The aim of all treatments was to facilitate bile flow into the duodenum. The biliary tract and site of leakage were visualized during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in all patients (100%) and 16 of 20 patients were treated endoscopically (80%). Bile leakage can be diagnosed safely and effectively by ERCP and subsequent endoscopic management is successful in most cases.
