Biliary infections, once requiring surgery, are now often managed minimally invasively. Advances in endoscopy and radiology, alongside antibiotics, are key for treating acute cholangitis and liver abscesses.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Biliary infections are serious conditions with historically high mortality.
  • Surgical interventions were previously the primary treatment for many biliary infections.
  • Minimally invasive techniques have revolutionized the management of these conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current minimally invasive management strategies for biliary infections.
  • To highlight the role of endoscopic and radiological interventions.
  • To emphasize collaborative care in optimizing patient outcomes.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current endoscopic techniques for biliary drainage.
  • Evaluation of radiological percutaneous drainage for liver abscesses.

  • Discussion of antibiotic therapy in conjunction with drainage procedures.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopic drainage is now the standard for acute cholangitis, replacing open surgery.
    • Radiological percutaneous drainage is effective for pyogenic liver abscesses.
    • Minimally invasive approaches have reduced morbidity and mortality.

    Conclusions:

    • Modern endoscopic and radiological techniques offer effective, less invasive management for biliary infections.
    • Prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary collaboration are crucial for successful treatment.
    • Advances have significantly improved the prognosis for patients with cholangitis and liver abscesses.
