Bile duct growing factor: an alternate technique for reconstruction of thin bile ducts after iatrogenic injury

Miguel Angel Mercado et al. J Gastrointest Surg. 2006 Sep-Oct.

Abstract

A variant of bilioenteric anastomosis, laterolateral hepatojejunostomy, is described in which the opened anterior aspect of the common hepatic duct and left hepatic duct is anastomosed to a Roux jejunal limb. This technique is specially designed for thin, injured bile ducts in which a conventional anastomosis is difficult due to the small diameter of the ducts. A wide anastomosis is obtained, leaving the posterior wall as a conduit for bile, ensuring an adequate anastomotic diameter.
