Abstract The authors present four cases of internal biliary fistulae (IBF) identified on hepatobiliary scintigraphy. All of the cases share common history of external biliary leak closure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Two of the patients presented with acute cholangitis and 2 presented with bowel obstruction due to gallstone ileus. All the patients underwent surgical treatment and the diagnostic and therapeutic management of each of them was analyzed. [revistagastroenterologiamexico.org]

We report the 10th English- language published case of a CDF that presented with hemorrhagic shock due to massive UGIB [ 5 - 13 ]. [omicsonline.org]

We presented a case of 38 year female who presented to our OPD with complaints of pain right upper abdomen for seven months in whom a cholecysto-duodenocolic fistula ( Figure 1 & Figure 2 ) was found during surgery which was repaired primarily. [file.scirp.org]

• Biliary Colic

  […] tract that presents as biliary colic, jaundice and cholangitis. [ 3 ] Intrabiliary rupture is reported to be seen in a range of 1-17% in such cases. [ 4 ] Cyst diameter of 7.5 cm and above is an independent factor that is associated with a high risk [oapublishinglondon.com]

Attention is mostly paid to interventions on the biliary ducts with their wide scope of problems and to the prevention and treatment of postoperative disturbances. [books.google.com]

Treatment of these complex injuries is quite challenging and for many years surgical management has been considered the treatment of choice. [jdeonline.in]

Prognosis is frequently related to early recognition, management of any comorbid conditions, and careful selection of treatment modalities. [nature.com]

Prognosis Prognosis is generally good. However, given that most patients with this condition are elderly, potential coexisting medical problems may complicate surgical intervention. [emedicine.medscape.com]

GBC is a relatively rare neoplasm which is associated with a poor prognosis, as it is often diagnosed in an advanced stage due to its nonspecific clinical presentation [24]. [graphyonline.com]

Prognosis The outcome of gastrointestinal fistulae has changed dramatically over the years with the introduction of intensive care and the provision of nutritional support. [ptolemy.ca]

Gallstones are the primary etiologic agent in most internal biliary-enteric fistulas. [surgerysearch.blogspot.com]

Especially, chronic cholecystitis with GB stones is considered in about 75% of major etiology. Our case is also related with chronic cholecystitis. [astr.or.kr]

External biliary fistulae, in turn, can be further subdivided based on etiology into spontaneous, therapeutic, traumatic, and iatrogenic fistulae. [emedicine.medscape.com]

The etiology of biliary-enteric fistulas is yet to be clearly established. [omicsonline.org]

Despite some epidemiological data to support this, experimental models have failed to replicate the carcinogenetic process. It is thus difficult at the present time to firmly conclude whether gallstones are the cause of GBC. [graphyonline.com]

CONCLUSION: Cholecystectomy has to be performed in early stage in the patients who were diagnosed as cholelithiasis to prevent the complications like IBF which is seen rarely. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On the contrary, the indications for such intervention are always widening, as its risks become always smaller and the requirements for prevention higher. [books.google.com]

Conversion to open surgery should be considered early when the anatomy is not clear to prevent iatrogenic injury. [file.scirp.org]

To prevent additional complications and fatal consequences, early diagnosis and adequate treatment are essential. [kjim.org]
