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.

Abstract

Biloma, safra yolları dışında, genellikle iatrojenik yaralanmalar sonucu oluşan kapsüllü safra birikimi olarak tanımlanır. Klinik belirtileri asemptomatik durumlardan şiddetli karın ağrısı ve peritonite kadar geniş bir yelpazede değişiklik gösterebilir. İlk tedavi, minimal invaziv yöntemlere öncelik vermelidir ve gerektiğinde cerrahi müdahalelere başvurulmalıdır. MRCP gibi ileri görüntüleme teknikleri ve sitolojik analizler tanıyı destekler ve tedavi planlamasına yardımcı olur. Biloma tedavisinde erken tanı ve bireyselleştirilmiş yönetim, komplikasyonların önlenmesi açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Multidisipliner bir yaklaşım, etkili hasta yönetimini kolaylaştırır ve tedavi sonuçlarını iyileştirir. Minimal invaziv müdahaleler genellikle tercih edilse de cerrahi müdahale bazen kaçınılmaz olabilir. Zamanında yapılan müdahaleler ve düzenli takip, tedavi etkinliğini artırır ve olumlu sonuçlar sağlar.
