[Intrahepatic cholangiojejunostomy on the third segment in non-operable neoplasms of the hepatic hilum].
The authors report their experience in 19 cases of primitive or secondary tumor of the hilus of the liver which couldn't benefit from radical operation. Palliative treatments--to resolve the jaundice (which is often the only responsible for a short-term exitus)--include surgical (intrahepatic bilio-digestive derivations) and non surgical procedures (PTDB, percutaneous transtumoral intubation). Considering the ephemeral results of the latter, the Authors take peripheral derivative operations into account and particularly the Soupault and Couinaud technique (intrahepatic colangiojejunostomy) performed in 7 patients with satisfying results. It is an easy and quick technique--because of constant anatomical situation of the left intrahepatic biliary distribution and of the superficial location of the duct of the III segment--which allows a lasting biliary decompression with a good residual life.
