Abstract EN
Bile leaks from the intrahepatic biliary tree are an important cause of morbidity following hepatic surgery and trauma.
Despite reduction in mortality for hepatic surgery in the last 2 decades, bile leaks rates have not changed significantly.
In addition to posted operative bile leaks, leaks may occur following drainage of liver abscess and tumor ablation.
Most bile leaks from the intrahepatic biliary tree are transient and managed conservatively by drainage alone or endoscopic biliary decompression.
Selected cases may require reoperation and enteric drainage or liver resection for management.
