[Posttraumatic biliary fistulae in childhood (author's transl)]

Report of three cases of injury to the bile ducts, of which one was a haemobilia, and two were ruptures of the hepatic ducts with external bile fistulae. The latter could be removed using tissue adhesive (blue Histoacryl). After an observation period of 4 years, no symptoms are noted; there are no calcifications in the area of the erstwhile fistulae. The haemobilia was cured by ligature of the right hepatic artery.
