Permanent-access hepaticojejunostomy

Br J Surg. 1984 Mar;71(3):188-91. doi: 10.1002/bjs.1800710307.

Abstract

A new technique of hepaticojejunostomy is described. The technique involves the incorporation of a cutaneous access stoma in the Roux-en-Y loop of jejunum used for the anastomosis. This stoma provides permanent access to the biliary-intestinal anastomosis and to the hepatobiliary tree for non-operative management of chronic and recurrent biliary tract problems.
