Hi Doctor, My aunt, 42 years old. Shes getting treated with anti-depressant for the past 10 yrs. Now, she has been diagnosed with gallstones. Doctors tried lap, but couldnt proceed, so they did a open surgery. Its been a month since the surgery was over & still her bile drain has not stopped. Can you pls advice on further treatment or what should be done to cure this ?
Hi, How are you? My name is Chat Doctor.  I am a liver and pancreas specialist and I hope to answer your question today. I am sorry to hear about your aunts condition. By the sound of it, your aunt seems to be suffering from a bile leak which is a rare complication following a laparoscopic cholecystectomy, but very common if the surgery was a difficult one due to adhesions. What ever the cause, the exact cause of the leak needs to be determined. Most commonly it is due to a slippage of suture from the duct
