Endoscopic management of postoperative bile leak.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIM:Melibiose/rhamnose permeability test is used for noninvasive intestinal mucosa barrier testing. However, the possible escape route of the absorbed saccharides through either intact or impaired blood-biliary barriers has not so far been explored. The objective of the present study was therefore two-fo...
