Bile Leakage Test in Emergency Hydatid Liver Cyst Surgery Case Report

In liver cyst hydatid surgery, presence of cysto-biliary communication (CBC) is important for the prevention of postoperative morbidity. If cysto-biliary connections are not obvious, diagnosis is not easy. Intraoperative bile leakage test has been shown to reduce postoperative biliary complications by revealing occult CBCs. However, bile leakage testing in emergency conditions such as hydatid cyst perforation has not been experienced so far.

About this study

In liver cyst hydatid surgery, presence of cysto-biliary communication (CBC) is important for the prevention of postoperative morbidity. If cysto-biliary connections are not obvious, diagnosis is not easy. Intraoperative bile leakage test has been shown to reduce postoperative biliary complications by revealing occult CBCs. However, bile leakage testing in emergency conditions such as hydatid cyst perforation has not been experienced so far.

Here, a bile leakage test performed in a 23-year-old male patient undergoing emergency surgery due to the perforation of the hydatid liver cyst was presented. Following the treatment of perforated hydatid liver cyst and biliary peritonitis, a bile leakage test was performed. The common bile duct was cannulated with a 22 Gauge catheter, normal saline and parenteral lipid solution were given to demonstrate the CBCs, and leakage areas were suture ligated. The patient was discharged postoperatively without any problem.

The investigators recommend detection and treatment of the CBCs even in emergency hydatid liver cyst surgery for prevention of postoperative biliary complications.
