Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Complications
  • Biliary System

Background:

  • External biliary fistulas are uncommon post-surgical complications.
  • Understanding their etiology is crucial for effective management.

Observation:

  • A series of five patients with external biliary fistulas treated between 1974 and 1986 were analyzed.
  • The onset of fistulas was linked to specific surgical interventions.

Findings:

  • Three cases resulted from Kehr drainage of the common bile duct.
  • One case each stemmed from subhepatic abscess drainage and pancreatic hydatid cyst removal.
  • The study details the causes and therapeutic approaches for each patient.

Implications:
