Abstract
- Here, we report a patient with bile duct injury (BDI) following open cholecystectomy, who developed a very large biloma, causing duodenal and biliary obstruction, and also had a biliary stricture at the site of BDI. We successfully managed the patient by endoscopic biloma-gastrostomy with biliary stenting that resulted in resolution of the biloma and aggressive endoscopic management of the biliary stricture with stent bundles till resolution. Pertaining this case to be the one with largest biloma in the literature (approximately 6.5 L), which developed following open cholecystectomy that resulted in biliary stricture following injury to BD. We successfully managed the patient by endoscopic biloma-gastric stenting and an aggressive endoscopic management of biliary stricture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
