We report a case of a newborn girl with
inspissated bile syndrome
(
IBS
) that did not respond to treatment with oral ursodeoxycholic acid (Ursofalk). A solution was found using laparoscopic aided cholecystostomy with an indwelling catheter for local Ursofalk
flushing
in the gallbladder and the choledochus. This is the first report of a laparoscopic aided management of
IBS
without cholecystectomy or exploration of the bile ducts. This minimal invasive approach showed a clear advantage for the patient. There were no complications. The method is recommended in the treatment of
IBS
.

We describe a 99-day old girl with
inspissated bile syndrome
(
IBS
) unresponsive to treatment with oral ursodeoxycholic acid. We performed a pure laparoscopic 2-stage procedure, consisting of cholecystostomy and insertion of an indwelling balloon catheter for local ursodeoxycholic acid
flushing
for 13 consecutive days. Subsequently, the cholecystostomy was removed, preserving the gallbladder using the same laparoscopical approach when bilirubin values returned to normal and bile duct obstruction was no longer detectable radiologically. This is the first report of an exclusively laparoscopic management of
IBS
.
