Traumatic bronchobiliary fistula.

J S Coselli, K L Mattox

    The Journal of Trauma
    |February 1, 1983

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Traumatic bronchobiliary fistulae are rare, often resulting from thoraco-abdominal injuries. Early transthoracic surgical exploration is recommended for improved outcomes and reduced hospital stays.

    Area of Science:

    • Thoracic Surgery
    • Gastroenterology
    • Trauma Surgery

    Background:

    • Bronchobiliary fistulae (BBF) are rare, abnormal connections between the bronchial tree and the biliary system.
    • Trauma is an exceptionally uncommon cause of BBF, with few cases documented in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • This report details one case of traumatic BBF and reviews seven previously published cases.
    • All documented cases, including the current one, stemmed from severe thoraco-abdominal injuries.
    • A consistent clinical sign across all cases was biliptysis, the expectoration of bile.

    Findings:

    • The study highlights the rarity of traumatic BBF, emphasizing thoraco-abdominal trauma as the primary etiology.
    • Biliptysis serves as a significant diagnostic indicator for this condition.

  • Early surgical intervention, specifically a transthoracic approach, was identified as a key management strategy.

    • Implications:

    • Early surgical exploration via a transthoracic approach is strongly recommended for patients with traumatic BBF.
    • This surgical strategy is associated with a reduced hospital stay and decreased patient morbidity.
    • The findings underscore the importance of prompt diagnosis and intervention in managing rare traumatic fistulae.
