title: [Postoperative external biliary fistulas: personal case series].
abstract: Over the period 1974-1986, five patients with external biliary fistulas were admitted to our clinic. The fistulas set in as complications of surgical operations due in 3 cases to a Kehr drainage of the common bile duct, in 1 case to drainage of a subhepatic abscess and in 1 case to pancreatic hydatid cyst. The causes of onset of the fistulas are reported as well as the therapy adopted in each case.
