[Foreign bodies in the biliary tract. II. Unusual foreign bodies in the biliary tract. Review of the literature].
The authors have collated 21 cases of unusual foreign bodies, other than parasites, in the biliary tract. The collection includes 6 penetrating bodies, 4 ingested by patients who had undergone previous bilio-digestive anastomosis or a sphincterotomy, and 11 foreign bodies ingested by patients who had never had previous surgical treatment. They consider that the real frequency is certainly greater than might be expected from a review of the literature. They discuss the different ways of penetrating the biliary tract and stress the interest of wide biliodigestive anastomosis and large Y loops, as recommended by Roux, to prevent lithiasis forming on food residue trapped at the level of the anastomosis or upstream.
