Algorithm for Biloma
- Supine and upright abdominal plain radiographs to exclude bowel obstruction
- Tc-99m-IDA scintigraphy (HIDA scan) to diagnose an active bile leak
- Follow-up IDA scintigraphy or abdominal ultrasound to follow the quantity of biliary leakage
- Percutaneous or retrograde (ERCP) biliary stenting if bile leak persists
- In abscence of an active bile leak, consider an abdominal ultrasound or CT scan to exclude a perihepatic abscess
