ABSTRACT
Objective: to report the outcome of conservative treatment in
patients with bile lake (BL) after of laparoscopic cholecystectomy,
using basic diagnosis methods and clinic monitoring.
Methods: six hundred and fifty eight patients underwent laparoscopic
cholecystectomy. They were evaluated according to their medical
history, hepatic function panel, amylase, gallbladder and bile
ducts ultrasonographic pattern. In cases of suspected choledocholithiasis
a selective intraoperative cholangiography was performed.
For patients whit BL a controlled monitoring system was
established, checking vital signs, abdominal symptoms; BL was
quantificated until it’s remission. These patients were under surveillance
for a year.
Results: thirteen patients (1.9 %) out of 658 presented BL. Two
males and 11 females, with an average age of 43. The initial BL
average was 71.1 mL in 24 hours and the average number of days
with the conservative treatment was 7.3. All patients had a favorable
clinical evolution except for one who presented BL for a period
of 18 days coincident with a subhepatic abscess that was drained.
Conclusion: BL after laparoscopic cholecystectomy can be treated
in a safe and effective way, monitoring with clinical elements and
basic laboratory and imaging resources.
