[Choleperitoneum following Kehr's T-tube removal: conservative treatment with culdocentesis associated with sphincterotomy and endoscopic drainage of the bile ducts]

Abstract

The Authors present a case of bile peritonitis due to a biliary fistula developed after T tube removal from the common bile duct. Highlighting poor clinical manifestations they report an alternative conservative treatment, by drainage of the bile leakage with culdocenthesis and successive endoscopic spincterotomy and transpapillary drainage.
