Abstract:
A new nonoperative method for treating postoperative common bile duct leaks by endoscopic placement of a nasobiliary stent is described. Two patients were treated successfully by placing a nasobiliary stent above the point of bile leakage, acting to divert the flow of bile and to allow the fistula to close.
