Core Tip The use of small caliber T-tubes and a peculiar insertion technique minimize the size of the choledochotomy and reduce the chance of T-tube related adverse events; a careful T-tube removal procedure with the insertion of a temporary Nelaton drain mitigates the risk of uncontrolled biliary fistula and the need for emergency procedures.
