Abstract:
Two patients are reported who developed bile ascites as a result of cystic duct fistulas following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Both patients were successfully treated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, utilizing sphincterotomy and nasobiliary tube placement. Characteristics of this syndrome and advantages of this form of therapy are emphasized.
