    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Gastroenterology
    • Vascular Surgery

    Background:

    • Hemobilia is a rare hepatobiliary disease.
    • It typically presents with abdominal pain, gastrointestinal bleeding, and obstructive jaundice.
    • Common causes include liver injury, trauma, surgery, and neoplasms.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatment strategies for hemobilia.
    • To provide a comprehensive overview of this rare condition.

    Main Methods:

    • Diagnosis is confirmed through endoscopy and selective angiography.
    • Treatment primarily involves surgical exploration, ligation of bleeding vessels, and bile duct decompression.

    Main Results:

    • Endoscopy and angiography are key diagnostic tools.
    • Surgical intervention is the main treatment for hemobilia.
    • Nonoperative management may be an option for minimal liver damage cases with close monitoring.

    Conclusions:

    • Hemobilia requires prompt diagnosis and management.
    • Surgical treatment is often necessary for effective outcomes.
    • Careful observation is crucial for nonoperative cases.
