Summary

Bile leakage after liver transection is treated by external drainage. The question addressed is whether downstream control by transpapillary stent insertion into distal bile duct can enhance healing.

Detailed description

All patients who present with clinically significant bile leakage after liver resection at postoperative day two or longer are offered the opportunity to become randomized to either continuous external drainage or the addition of transpapillary stent.

Conditions

• Bile Leakage
