Abstract

A 56-year-old female patient was transferred to our unit because of biliary leakage after a converted laparoscopic cholecystectomy. It was her fifth postoperative day; patient had a productive drain of more than 700 cc bile per day, she was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics, and had a gastric tube for enteral feeding. An ERCP were performed showing a proximal and complete lesion of the hepatic duct was seen (type D BDI) with an insufficiently drained subhepatic collection. A PTC drain was placed to properly drain the collection. After a period of 6 weeks her general condition improved. At laparotomy a biliodigestive Roux-en-Y anastomosis was performed.
