A postoperative biliary fistula is a rare but severe complication of biliary surgery. Clinical signs, ultrasound and ERC lead to the diagnosis. Within three years, 37 patients with postoperative bile duct fistulas after cholecystectomy underwent endoscopic therapy. In all patients the biliary fistula healed completely within seven days after insertion of a nasobiliary tube. The nasobiliary tube for postoperative biliary fistulas offers regular radiological controls and reduces the necessity of operative reinterventions on the biliary system.
