Abstract: Post Cholecystectomy Biliary Leakage (PCBL) is uncommon but can happen in 0.3-2.7% of patients. We aimed by this review to highlight the most etiological factors contributing in bile leakage after Cholecystectomy, but the main objective of this paper was to evaluate the treatment approaches for Post Cholecystectomy Biliary Leakage (PCBL), mostly surgical procedures in management of PCBL. We performed an electronic search through several databases; MIDLINE, and EMBASE to the date November 2016. A Medline search of the literature was done using keywords such as bile leakage and bile duct injury, surgical management of PCBL. When bile leak is identified after LC, it is very important to consider how the leak has actually emerged. Offered the variety of readily available treatments, ranging from a few days of observation to sophisticated biliary enteric coronary bypass, the etiology of the leak-age ought to be definitely figured out before any intervention happens, consequently reducing unnecessary exploration. When deciding upon the most suitable management of Bile Leakage After Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy exploration, numerous factors need to be evaluated. Many factors have to be assessed when deciding upon the most ideal management of bile leak, consisting of the surgeon's experience, availability of an endoscopist, cost-effectiveness, equipment requirements, and length of admission and follow-up.
Keywords: Post Cholecystectomy Biliary Leakage (PCBL), endoscopist.
