title: Spontaneous hepaticoduodenal fistula functioning like a bilioenteric anastomosis following bile duct injury: case report.
abstract: Bile duct injury is a serious complication of laparoscopic cholecystectomy. We report a case of spontaneous hepaticoduodenal fistula following bile duct injury. Initially, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy had been planned for the patient, but as the patient did not show any symptoms or findings of biliary obstruction, we preferred a non-operative management. The fistula allowed adequate biliary drainage, and the patient has been followed regularly by the outpatient clinic with good clinical results for approximately five years.
