Schematic diagram of different biliary surgical techniques for cysto-biliary communications. a Double T-tube drainage due to fistula; b Single T-tube drainage with sutured fistula. (D.T. = decompression T-tube at common bile duct; S.T. = sustaining T-tube at cysto-biliary communication site; Suture = suturing of the cysto-biliary communication site; Note that there were routine abdominal/cystic cavity draining catheters within these two techniques but they were omitted in order to magnify T-tubes in the figure)
