Management of bilioenteric anastomosis leakage after major liver resection.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Post-hepatectomy bile leakage is a challenging issue that can lead to morbidities and mortality after liver resection. This leakage can occur either from a bilioenteric anastomosis (BEA) or from the transected surface of the liver. This study investigated the incidence, risk factors, and effective management of BEA leakage after major liver resection.

Methods

Bile leakage was diagnosed through drain fluid analysis based on the International Study Group of Liver Surgery definition. Leakage from a BEA was confirmed via fluoroscopy during percutaneous interventions or reoperation. Perioperative data and data on the management of patients with BEA leakage were collected and analysed. Bivariate analysis used Mann-Whitney U and χ2 tests, and binary logistic regression i
