Biloma after laparoscopic cholecystectomy

چکیده
Methods-Results: Over the past two-year period the same surgeon performed 180 laparoscopic cholecystectomies without any intra-operative event. All patients but three had an uneventful postoperative course (morbidity 1.6%). In 3 cases (women, 72-74-88 years-old) the US-scanning revealed a sub-hepatic biloma manifested by persistent right upper quadrant or epigastric pain, abdominal distention, fever and leukocytosis. In one case there was co-existent gastric outlet obstruction two weeks after the operation and mild obstructive jaundice in another one. All were managed successfully by drainage under ultrasound guidance and antibiotics, prolonging the hospitalization.
