Abstract
Objective To study the treatment and outcomes of hepatic biloma after minimally invasive interventional therapies. Methods From January 2013 to December 2018, patients who underwent transcatheter arterial chemoembolization, percutaneous microwave ablation, and percutaneous biliary drainage (PTBD) at the Affiliated Hospital to Jiangnan University (Wuxi No.3 Hospital) and developed postoperative biloma that required treatment were included into this study. Results Of 43 bilomas, 14 were treated with percutaneous drainage. There were 9 males and 5 females, with an average age of 61(29-85) years. These bilomas could be classified into the following 3 types: extrahepatic bilomas (2 patients), simple bilomas (10 patients) and infected bilomas (2 patients). The treatments included PTBD, drainage of percutaneous biloma or a combination of both. Conclusion Biloma is a known complication after minimally invasive interventional therapies. These bilomas could be classified to guide treatment and to improve prognosis. Key words: Liver; Bilomas; Interventional treatment; Drainage
