Repeated reconstruction for recurrent benign bile duct stricture.
Since 1965, 101 operations for benign bile duct stricture have been performed, including 51 Roux-en-Y end-to-side hepaticojejunostomies. Complete follow-up to a mean of 12.5 years has been achieved. Nine patients required reoperation for stricture; the total cumulative late patency rate was 90 per cent, including successful repair. Seven of the nine patients who underwent a second operation had a favourable outcome. Early hepaticojejunostomy is a satisfactory treatment for recurrent biliary stricture.
