The pigtail stenting treatment for the Biliary leakage After the Liver hydatid cyst operation: A case report

Abstract

Echinococcus granulosis commonly involve the liver and are mostly seen in Turkey . One of the early complication following the surgery for liver hydatid cyst is biliary leakage (B.L.) which’s incidence is %4.5-26. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (E.S.) and biliary stenting are usually successful in treating B.L. In this case, I’m presenting endoscopic treatment for the B.L. after the liver hydatid cyst operation.
