A '''biliary fistula''', a type of [[fistula]] where [[bile]] leaks from the [[bile ducts]] into outside areas, can occur as a complication following biliary [[Physical trauma|trauma]], either [[iatrogenic]] or a result of a penetrating injury.
Pain may occur if the leaked bile is also [[infected]], which can subsequently lead to biliary [[peritonitis]]. Extensive [[ascites]] may accumulate, especially in the setting of sterile bile leakage, which is often asymptomatic in nature.
