Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Nontraumatic bronchobiliary fistula is a rare but serious condition.
  • It often arises secondary to biliary obstruction or hepatic infectious processes.

Observation:

  • This study reviewed 16 adult cases over 32 years.
  • Patients presented with biloptysis, respiratory distress, cholangitis, jaundice, and sepsis.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via fistulography or cholangiography.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention, including biliary obstruction relief and abscess drainage, was performed in 15 patients.
  • All surgically treated patients experienced successful outcomes.
  • Early diagnosis and management of septic complications are crucial.

Implications:

  • Surgical relief of biliary obstruction is essential for successful treatment.
  • Prompt management improves patient outcomes in bronchobiliary fistula cases.
  • This highlights the importance of multidisciplinary care for complex hepatobiliary and thoracic conditions.
