Core Tip	Bile leaks can occur as a complication of abdominal surgery or, less commonly, due to trauma. Timely and accurate diagnosis, along with appropriate treatment, is crucial for improving patient outcomes. With advancements in endoscopic technology and expertise, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography has emerged as the primary treatment approach, reserving surgical options for more complex or recurrent cases. However, the absence of specific guidelines in this area means that treatment often relies on local resources and professional experience. This review seeks to clarify the role of endoscopy in managing various types of biliary leaks, offering clinicians valuable insights for navigating this challenging field.
