“…A similar result (50% radiological leak) and 7% biliary peritonitis was obtained by Mosley et al in his study [38]. Literature is full of reports of bile leaks occurring at the time of T tube removal [27,30,33,37,39,40] In the ENBD group there is no opening in the CBD and no chance of trauma to the wall at the time of its removal, therefore there is almost no reason for a bile leak. Even if the ENBD gets displaced early as happened in three of our patients, or is removed early as was the case in one of the patients no leak occurs.…”
