Abstract | ||
Background: For many benign biliary disorders (BBD), some forms of biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA) remain the accepted modality of treatment. Choledochoduodenostomy (CD) and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) are considered to be the most commonly used techniques for BEA. This study gives a comprehensive overview on short-term surgical outcomes after both techniques in patients requiring a BEA for BBD affecting distal common bile duct (CBD). Patients and Methods: It is a prospective comparative randomized study conducted in Ain Shams University Hospitals over a period of one year starting from June 2022. Thirty patients requiring a BEA for BBD affecting distal CBD were randomly divided into two equal groups, first group was operated CD and the other had Roux-en-Y HJ with a follow-up period of about 6 months. Results: Operative time was longer in HJ group (152.67±14.38 mins) compared to CD group (134±13.52 mins). Postoperative hospital stay was (7.07±1.1) and (6.13±0.99) days in patients of HJ group and CD group, respectively. No mortality happened in either group, and postoperative complications were comparable between both of them, with overall morbidity of (26.7%) after CD versus (20%) after the HJ. Conclusion: Roux-en-Y HJ is a reliable technique to create a BEA in patients with BBD affecting distal CBD, that couldn’t be managed conservatively or via minimally invasive approaches. Technically it is more complex compared to CD, and maybe non-applicable in patients with marked abdominal adhesions or previous bowel surgeries, yet it is associated with less postoperative complications. | ||
