ABSTRACT
Bronchobiliary fistula is a rare condition that has been usually treated surgically. We report successful resolution of a rare case of combined bronchobiliary and biliocutaneous fistula by prolonged endoscopic transpapillary biliary drainage. The patient developed these fistulae following right hepatectomy for blunt trauma to the abdomen. Although endoscopic biliary drainage has been reported to be effective in healing of post-traumatic and post-surgical bile leaks, there are limited reports describing the efficacy of endoscopic drainage in complex biliary fistulas. This case report describes the successful closure of complex biliary fistula by prolonged endoscopic drainage.
