Hepaticojejunostomy using a mucosal graft in the treatment of carcinoma of the hepatic duct.
In eight patients who had resectable tumor of the common hepatic duct, the nonsuture mucosal graft operation was applied. One patient died of sepsis during the postoperative period. Patency of the new stoma proved to be within normal limits in all seven patients as long as they survived from the disease. The mean survival rate was 591 days.
