Permanent-access hepaticojejunostomy.
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.
