Dr. Sandesh T R, Meghasriti

Abstract :

INTRODUCTION: Biloma is an encapsulated collection of bile outside or inside the biliary system within the abdominal cavity, with an incidence of 0.3%-2%. The most common cause of spontaneous biloma is choledocholithiasis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 27-year-old male post op open cholecystectomy patient complaint of pain in the right upper quadrant and bilious content in abdominal drain on post op day 2 after open cholecystectomy for chronic calculus cholecystitis. He was diagnosed as biloma in a case of post open cholecystectomy by using USG W/A and MRCP to rule out obstructive pathology and he was treated with pigtail catheter percutaneous drainage under USG guidance. CONCLUSION: Biloma is a rare post operative complication. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can prevent life-threatening complications. Surgeons should include biloma as a differential diagnosis while excluding other causes for right upper quadrant pain. USG-guided percutaneous drainage is an affordable treatment for biloma with best results.
