Can endoscopic therapy help surgeons to manage post-hepatectomy bile leaks?

We read with great interest the paper of Spetzler et al.on bile leaks after hepatectomy(1).The authors concluded that preoperative therapy and types of surgical procedures had the most significant influence both on incidence and severity of these adverse events.Furthermore,the authors evidenced that grade C bile leaks(needing surgical retreatments)were associated with increased length of hospital-stay,infection rate and mortality.
