What is Biliary Reconstruction?
Biliary reconstruction repairs or replaces a damaged, strictured or surgically divided bile duct, often with a hepaticojejunostomy that joins bile ducts to a Roux loop of jejunum. After adhesions are cleared and healthy duct mucosa is identified, a Roux-en-Y jejunal loop is usually brought up for hepaticojejunostomy. Drains and, sometimes, anastomotic stents are placed as planned.
