Abstract:
Endoscopic retrograde cholangiography has now evolved into a highly sophisticated diagnostic and therapeutic tool in patients with hepatobiliary-pancreatic disorders. However, this procedure is associated with risks of significant complications such as cholangitis, pancreatitis, hemorrhage, and perforation which have been widely recognized. Hepatic subcapsular biloma is a very rare and less recognized complication of this procedure. Recently, we experienced a case of hepatic subcapsular biloma, developed after endoscopic removal of choledocholithiasis, managed with percutaneous drainage procedure and endoscopic stenting, and report with a review of literature.
