It occurs as a complication of hepatobiliary surgery especially the laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The surgical treatment of bile duct injuries is often difficult and limited. Therefore the least invasive technique for the treatment is to place a biliary catheter or a temporary plastic stent. In our study, the results of sixteen patients who were diagnosed as having bile duct injury and then treated with radiologic techniques are presented and discussed. In all patients, peritoneal fluid collection was drained through percutaneous catheter, and percutaneous biliary drainage was also performed. Biliary drainage catheters were left in place for 15-50 days (mean 28 days) Patients were followed up for 5-90 months (mean 44 months). Fourteen of sixteen patients were healed completely after radiologic treatment. Two patients were referred to surgery. Percutaneous biliary drainage is effective technique for treatment of bile duct injuries and it usually provides complete healing}, number={1}, publisher={Bursa Uludağ University}
