Abstract
Objective: To report a clinical case of bile fistula after penetrating hepatic trauma given its low incidence, which was expectant managed by
not having Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. Clinical case: We present a 28 years-old man, with biliary fistula resulting
after a penetrating hepatic trauma. Discussion: Bile leakage is a major complication after liver surgery and a rare one in complication of
major hepatic trauma. Conventional treatment has consisted of surgical intervention with hepatic debridement, ductal repair, controlled
drainage and ERCP when available. Conclusion: Biliary fistula was treated successfully with conservative management, the duration of
time between hepatic trauma and closure of the fistula was 35 days. (MÉD.UIS. 2013;26(2):63-5).

Resumen
Objetivo: Reportar un caso clínico de fistula biliar secundaria a trauma hepático penetrante dada su baja incidencia, el cual fue tratado
de manera convencional al no contar con colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica. Caso clínico: Se presenta un hombre de 28
años de edad, con fistula biliar resultante de trauma hepático penetrante. Discusión: La fuga biliar es una complicación mayor después de
cirugía hepática y una complicación poco frecuente después de un trauma hepático mayor. El tratamiento convencional ha consistido en
intervención quirúrgica con debridación hepática, reparación ductal, una fistula controlada y ERCP cuando está disponible. Conclusión: La
fistula biliar fue tratada exitosamente con manejo conservador, el tiempo entre el trauma hepático y el cierre de la fistula fue de 35 días.

Introduction
Bile fistula is a rare cause of major morbidity after
major hepatic trauma, corresponding to 0.5-4.5%1,2
and results in prolongation of the hospital stay.
Furthermore, bile retention in the necrotic space
leads to the development of the intraperitoneal
septic complications that are known to be a cause
of dead. Bile leakage is defined that continuous
biliary discharge from drainage ducts irrespective
of its bilirubin concentrations or delayed biliary fluid
collection (biloma), at the scar surface of the liver,
with the patient having clinical symptoms such as
fever, pleural effusion, or an elevated serum C-reactive
protein level after removing the drainage tubes3
. A
bile fistula may develop following hepatic trauma, as
higher pressures in the biliary system make to easier
for bile to flow into injured area than to duodenum4
.

The Endoscopic Retrograde
Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is indicated
to identify obstruction, and as a rule endoscopic
sphinterotomy promotes healing, when fistula not
responding have been successfully treated by placing
an endoprosthesis. Actually, ERCP is both diagnostic
and therapeutic tool for the safe treatment of biliary
ductal injury after severe liver trauma5
. But, if this
tool is not available in our setting? We evaluated
a patient presenting early after liver penetrating
trauma with bile leakage in whom the site of fistula
was the orifice of gunshot trauma. We discuss the
value of the approach and expectant management
of this condition.
Case presentation
A 28 years-old man was admitted to emergency
room with thoracic-abdominal penetrating gunshot
trauma. Exploratory laparotomy and right pleural
drainage were performed; during surgery we found
hepatic injury grade IV, parenchymal disruption
involving approximately 25% of right lobe, between
Couinaud segments VII and VIII. The patient was
hemodynamically unstable, the Pringle maneuver
was done and we tried to repair the hepatic injury.
However, the injured area was in a continuous
bleeding so abbreviated surgery, a damage control
surgery, was done; the hepatic areas was packaged
and superficial layers closed. The patient was send to
intensive care unit.
At day 1 after damage control surgery, the patient
was stable and we decided make relaparotomy,
we found necrotic tissue and no active bleeding,
however a biliary leakage was observed. We tried
to repair the area and necrotic tissue was debrided.
An open Penrose drain was inserted close to injured
area. The package was retired and the abdominal
wall closed using mass technique.
The patient presented biliary leakage of 350 ml/day
after second surgery (See Figure 1). Although ERCP
is used for definitive treatment in posttraumatic bile
fistula,lackofthistoolforcedustodecidedexpectant
management and wait the healing tissue to close
the fistula. The biliary leakage was diminishing and
augments during next days, (30 to 250 ml/day). After
a full expansion of the right lung, the chest drain
was removed on day 6. At day 10, biliary leakage
was 50 ml/day. Right peri-hepatic hematoma, right
biloma, and right pleural effusion were reported in
computer tomography at day 22 (See figure 2), right
inferior thoracotomy was performed at day 28. No
bile leakage to pleural space was detected, and
pleural drain was inserted to re-expand the lung
after thoracic surgery. The chest drain was removed
on postoperative day 5, and discharged on post-
thoracotomy day 6 with only 15 ml/day of biliary
leakage. Clinical follow-up has been continued for 2
months without any complaint.

Discussion
Trunkey et al. reported that 30% of patients with
hepatic trauma had one or more complications
in it. The overall mortality in this series was 13%,
and this mortality was related to hemorrhage
and hypovolemic shock2
. Biliary leakage was not
common, in our review of 86 patients with hepatic
penetrating trauma we do not found any biliary
fistula6
. Literature report that only 4-6% patients
with blunt and penetrating trauma will develop bile
leak7,8
. Posttraumatic bile leaks may present either as
bile peritonitis or as a bile lead through a drain site
like our patient7

Although earlier studies showed that the majority
of complications following liver trauma can be
successfully managed with percutaneous drainage8
,
safetyofendoscopicmanagementisthegoldstandard
currently9
. But in developing countries, with lack of
many diagnostic and therapeutic tools, expectant
management in patients with biliary fistula continues
like an efficient tool in the patient with severe liver
trauma. The median for bile leak closed spontaneously
is 33-44 days7,8
, our patient had 35 days to closed
biliary leakage. Although, no mortality is reported due
to biliary leakage, all complications reflect the severity
of the initial injury rather than the bile leak7,8
.
Conclusion
Although endoscopic sphincterotomy is a reliable
and effective therapeutic, in management in patients
with external biliary fistulas10,11
. Patients in hospitals
without this tool, expectant management with
percutaneous drainage remains like an effective and
safe conduct.

Abstract Objective: To report a clinical case of bile fistula after penetrating hepatic trauma given its low incidence, which was expectant managed by not having Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography. Clinical case: We present a 28 years-old man, with biliary fistula resulting after a penetrating hepatic trauma. Discussion: Bile leakage is a major complication after liver surgery and a rare one in complication of major hepatic trauma. Conventional treatment has consisted of surgical intervention with hepatic debridement, ductal repair, controlled drainage and ERCP when available. Conclusion: Biliary fistula was treated successfully with conservative management, the duration of time between hepatic trauma and closure of the fistula was 35 days. (MÉD.UIS. 2013;26(2):63-5).

Fistula biliar secundaria a trauma hepático penetrante con conducta expectante en la “era” del tratamiento endoscópico: reporte clínico Resumen Objetivo: Reportar un caso clínico de fistula biliar secundaria a trauma hepático penetrante dada su baja incidencia, el cual fue tratado de manera convencional al no contar con colangiopancreatografía retrógrada endoscópica. Caso clínico: Se presenta un hombre de 28 años de edad, con fistula biliar resultante de trauma hepático penetrante. Discusión: La fuga biliar es una complicación mayor después de cirugía hepática y una complicación poco frecuente después de un trauma hepático mayor. El tratamiento convencional ha consistido en intervención quirúrgica con debridación hepática, reparación ductal, una fistula controlada y ERCP cuando está disponible. Conclusión: La fistula biliar fue tratada exitosamente con manejo conservador, el tiempo entre el trauma hepático y el cierre de la fistula fue de 35 días. (MÉD.UIS. 2013;26(2):63-5).

Introduction Bile fistula is a rare cause of major morbidity after major hepatic trauma, corresponding to 0.5-4.5%1,2 and results in prolongation of the hospital stay. Furthermore, bile retention in the necrotic space leads to the development of the intraperitoneal septic complications that are known to be a cause of dead. Bile leakage is defined that continuous biliary discharge from drainage ducts irrespective of its bilirubin concentrations or delayed biliary fluid collection (biloma), at the scar surface of the liver, with the patient having clinical symptoms such as fever, pleural effusion, or an elevated serum C-reactive protein level after removing the drainage tubes3 . A bile fistula may develop following hepatic trauma, as higher pressures in the biliary system make to easier for bile to flow into injured area than to duodenum4 .
  • 2. Uhia am, Marín kc, Rodríguez ca, Duarte w MéD. UIS. 2013;26(1):69-79 64 The Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is indicated to identify obstruction, and as a rule endoscopic sphinterotomy promotes healing, when fistula not responding have been successfully treated by placing an endoprosthesis. Actually, ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic tool for the safe treatment of biliary ductal injury after severe liver trauma5 . But, if this tool is not available in our setting? We evaluated a patient presenting early after liver penetrating trauma with bile leakage in whom the site of fistula was the orifice of gunshot trauma. We discuss the value of the approach and expectant management of this condition. Case presentation A 28 years-old man was admitted to emergency room with thoracic-abdominal penetrating gunshot trauma. Exploratory laparotomy and right pleural drainage were performed; during surgery we found hepatic injury grade IV, parenchymal disruption involving approximately 25% of right lobe, between Couinaud segments VII and VIII. The patient was hemodynamically unstable, the Pringle maneuver was done and we tried to repair the hepatic injury. However, the injured area was in a continuous bleeding so abbreviated surgery, a damage control surgery, was done; the hepatic areas was packaged and superficial layers closed. The patient was send to intensive care unit. At day 1 after damage control surgery, the patient was stable and we decided make relaparotomy, we found necrotic tissue and no active bleeding, however a biliary leakage was observed. We tried to repair the area and necrotic tissue was debrided. An open Penrose drain was inserted close to injured area. The package was retired and the abdominal wall closed using mass technique. The patient presented biliary leakage of 350 ml/day after second surgery (See Figure 1). Although ERCP is used for definitive treatment in posttraumatic bile fistula,lackofthistoolforcedustodecidedexpectant management and wait the healing tissue to close the fistula. The biliary leakage was diminishing and augments during next days, (30 to 250 ml/day). After a full expansion of the right lung, the chest drain was removed on day 6. At day 10, biliary leakage was 50 ml/day. Right peri-hepatic hematoma, right biloma, and right pleural effusion were reported in computer tomography at day 22 (See figure 2), right inferior thoracotomy was performed at day 28. No bile leakage to pleural space was detected, and pleural drain was inserted to re-expand the lung after thoracic surgery. The chest drain was removed on postoperative day 5, and discharged on post- thoracotomy day 6 with only 15 ml/day of biliary leakage. Clinical follow-up has been continued for 2 months without any complaint. Figure 1. Show entrance orifice and biliary accumulation in external reservoir Figure 2. CT show peri-hepatic hematoma and right biloma. Discussion Trunkey et al. reported that 30% of patients with hepatic trauma had one or more complications in it. The overall mortality in this series was 13%, and this mortality was related to hemorrhage and hypovolemic shock2 . Biliary leakage was not common, in our review of 86 patients with hepatic penetrating trauma we do not found any biliary fistula6 . Literature report that only 4-6% patients with blunt and penetrating trauma will develop bile leak7,8 . Posttraumatic bile leaks may present either as bile peritonitis or as a bile lead through a drain site like our patient7 .
  • 3. Enero-Abril Manejo de la falla cardiaca aguda en urgencias: enfoque terapia farmacológica 65 Although earlier studies showed that the majority of complications following liver trauma can be successfully managed with percutaneous drainage8 , safetyofendoscopicmanagementisthegoldstandard currently9 . But in developing countries, with lack of many diagnostic and therapeutic tools, expectant management in patients with biliary fistula continues like an efficient tool in the patient with severe liver trauma. The median for bile leak closed spontaneously is 33-44 days7,8 , our patient had 35 days to closed biliary leakage. Although, no mortality is reported due to biliary leakage, all complications reflect the severity of the initial injury rather than the bile leak7,8 . Conclusion Although endoscopic sphincterotomy is a reliable and effective therapeutic, in management in patients with external biliary fistulas10,11 . Patients in hospitals without this tool, expectant management with percutaneous drainage remains like an effective and safe conduct.
