[Bile leakage in laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Authors' experience]. / Coleperitoneo e colecistectomia laparoscopica. Nostra esperienza.

The Authors report their experience of two patients with bile leakage following videocholecystectomy (VLC) among a series of 163 cases. Reviewing the Literature, they analyze possible causes and mechanisms of bile spillage occurring after VCL. They also suggest some guidelines for a safe VLC, stressing the importance of the routinary placement of the sub-hepatic drainage to remove 48 hours to early detect possible bile leakages after surgery.
