Treatment of postoperative bile fistulas by internal endoscopic biliary drainage

T Sauerbruch et al. Gastroenterology. 1986 Jun.

Abstract

We report four consecutive cases in which postoperative cutaneous biliary fistulas were treated successfully by an endoscopically placed nasobiliary tube or an endoprosthesis. This simple and effective method should be considered in selected patients as a viable alternative to established surgical procedures.
