Area of Science:
- Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Postoperative hemobilia is a rare but serious complication following liver and biliary tract procedures.
- Massive bleeding can impede standard diagnostic imaging techniques.
- Accurate diagnosis is essential for timely and effective patient management.
