| description | Introduction: Bile duct fistulas (BDFs) stemming mainly from surgery after cholecystectomy present a significant global health challenge due to their associated morbidity and complications. If proven effective, alternative treatments may be preferred, given the invasive nature of the conventional treatment. Case presentation: This is the case of a 54-year-old female patient with bile duct injury that occurred during laparoscopic cholecystectomy, resulting in a BDF and liver abscess. Conventional treatment provided little benefit, resulting in a shift toward homeopathic treatment. Notably, homeopathy not only addressed immediate postoperative concerns but also played a beneficial role in healing the fistula and managing chronic conditions. Conclusion: The case showed sustained improvement in liver function and overall well-being throughout a 6-year follow-up, despite the initial grim prognosis. Further, research is imperative to gain a better understanding of the benefits of the treatment observed here. |
