Can biliary fistula heal on its own after biliary-intestinal anastomosis?

Biliary fistula after biliary-intestinal anastomosis, if the fistula is relatively small, there is a chance of self-healing; if the fistula is relatively large and exudes more fluid, it usually can not be self-healed. If the fistula is relatively small after gallbladder anastomosis, the bile exudes less fluid, indicating that the postoperative recovery is good, the surgical trauma is relatively small, this situation can usually heal on its own, without special treatment. However, regular observation is needed to know whether the drainage is smooth. If the bile-intestinal anastomosis fistula is relatively large, and the amount of bile outflow is more, and there is bile sludge, drainage is not smooth and other situations occur, usually can not be self-healing, need to be targeted treatment as soon as possible. If necessary, under the guidance of the physician should be dissected for bile duct repair surgery. After the bile-intestinal anastomosis is recommended for regular review, the doctor will analyze the need for repair treatment according to the patient’s recovery, for poor postoperative recovery, you can be hospitalized for observation.
