title: Role of hepatobiliary scintigraphy in management of postoperative bile leak into the lesser sac.
abstract: A case with bile leak into the lesser sac of peritoneum is reported. Although bile leak following biliary surgery or trauma is not uncommon, isolated bile leak into the lesser sac is rare. This information may be vital for appropriate placement of the drainage tube in the abdomen. A hepatobiliary study, as reflected in this report, is extremely useful in guiding the surgeon in this respect.
