We devised a precise definition of post-resectional biliary fistula and a well-established policy both for its disclosure and management.Aim was the validation of our definition, and management of biliary fistula after hepatic resection in a large prospective cohort of patients and its comparison with that of the International Study Group of Liver Surgery (ISGLS).
