Summary

A patient presenting with a bile collection in his abdominal wound following an oesophagogastrectomy was found to have an external biliary fistula. The obstruction in the common bile duct was due to gallstones. The patient underwent endoscopic papillotomy and his fistula closed without further surgery.
