title: [Haemobilia as a special form of gastro-intestinal bleeding (author's transl)].
abstract: Nine patients with haemobilia were treated during a 17-year period (1958-1974), seven of them with postoperative haemobilia after operations on the biliary tract, and one with traumatic haemobilia. Three patients with intrahepatic injury after transhepatic drainage for inflammatory biliary-tract stricture or after extraction of intrahepatic biliary-tract stones with a Fogarty catheter were free of symptoms on conservative treatment alone. Of six operated patients one died from extensive hepatic necrosis after ligation of the main and right hepatic arteries, another two months after operation of septicaemia. The other patients have remained free of symptoms.
