  • Title: Hepaticojejunostomy by interventional radiology with an expandable metallic stent after extended right hepatectomy for hilar cholangiocarcinoma: case report.
    Author: Yamagiwa K, Tabata M, Matsumoto E, Mizuno S, Isaji S.
    Journal: Surg Laparosc Endosc Percutan Tech; 2008 Aug; 18(4):400-3. PubMed ID: 18716543.
    Abstract:
    As a rare complication of extended right hepatectomy with portal vein resection, we were unable to find the cut end of the bile duct of the lateral segment to create a hepaticojejunostomy in a 57-year-old man with hilar cholangiocarcinoma. However, we succeeded in safely creating a hepaticojejunostomy between the bile duct of the lateral segment and a Roux-en-Y jejunum by using the guide wire technique and an expandable metallic stent under fluoroscopic and cholangioscopic guidance after the operation. The patient was discharged with an internal biliary drainage tube, but died of recurrence about 2 years after the operation with the hepaticojejunostomy remaining patent.
