Persistent Biloma Following Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy: A Case Report

Abstract

" Biloma is defined as an encapsulated bile collection outside the biliary tree, typically resulting from iatrogenic injuries. Its clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic presentations to severe abdominal pain and peritonitis. Initial treatment should prioritize minimally invasive methods, with escalation to surgical interventions when necessary. Advanced imaging techniques such as MRCP and cytological analyses support diagnosis and aid in treatment planning. Early detection and individualized management are critical for preventing complications in biloma treatment. A multidisciplinary approach facilitates effective patient management and improves outcomes. While minimally invasive interventions are generally preferred, surgical intervention may sometimes be unavoidable. Timely interventions and regular follow-up enhance treatment efficacy and ensure favorable outcomes.
