Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD) in the treatment of bile leaks after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods A total of 8 patients with bile leak after LC treated by ENBD were retrospectively analysed. Results The 8 patients with bile leak were all cured by ENBD without any severe complications. The healing time for bile leak was only 6-12 d (mean 8.5 d). Conclusion ENBD is a safe and effective nonoperative method to treat postoperative biliary leak.
