Abstract

Biliary complications after hepatopancreaticobiliary surgery can have severe consequences for the long-term quality of life of patients. Adequate and timely diagnosis of the underlying problem by an experienced surgeon is essential. Ultrasonography, computed tomography, contrast-enhanced fluoroscopy of drains and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) are helpful examinations that can be employed in a step-wise approach. Early re-do surgery is indicated in the initial postoperative course. Interventional methods, such as ERCP and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage ( PTCD, plus stents and drains) offer a variety of additional therapeutic options that should be used by the experienced interventionalist in a patient-tailored interdisciplinary fashion.
