Cholecysto-biliary fistulas are rare complications of biliary stones, occurring in 0.2% of cholecystectomies. Preoperative diagnosis is challenging, but Csendes

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Biliary calculosis, or gallstones, is a common condition requiring surgical intervention.
  • Cholecystectomies are frequently performed to address biliary calculosis.
  • Cholecysto-biliary fistulas are rare but serious complications that can arise from gallstones.

Observation:

  • This study observed two cases of cholecysto-biliary fistulas (0.2%) during a 15-year period.
  • A total of 910 cholecystectomies were performed on patients with biliary calculosis.
  • The observed cases highlight the rarity and potential impact of these fistulas.

Findings:

  • Clinical signs of cholecysto-biliary fistulas are often non-specific.
  • Preoperative diagnostic tools are generally ineffective, with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) being a potential exception.

  • Csendes' classification of cholecysto-biliary fistulas is valuable for guiding surgical treatment decisions.

    • Implications:

    • Surgical management should be individualized based on fistula characteristics.
    • Treatment options range from simple fistula repair with drainage to more complex biliary-digestive anastomosis.
    • Further research may be needed to improve preoperative diagnosis and refine surgical strategies for these rare complications.
