Retrospective analysis reveals bile leak management outcomes in pediatric liver recipients, highlighting higher biliary stricture rates after percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography.

Key Points

Biliary stricture developed far more frequently after percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography than after surgical intervention for post-transplant bile leak.
Retrospective analysis showed stricture rates reached 52.6% after percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography versus 18.5% following surgical repair of bile leak.
Highlights the diagnostic utility of peritoneal bilirubin measurements, suggesting conservative monitoring for mild leaks and prompt surgical intervention for severe cases.
