We present a patient with biliary peritonitis following a T-tube removal. The patient underwent laparotomy; a rupture of the fistulous tract around the T-tube was found. A Nelaton catheter was inserted through this opening and advanced toward the biliary tree and secured in place by a suture ligature. Postoperative course was uneventful.
