title: [A stereologic study on the influence of stent tube pressure on bilio-intestinal anastomotic scar formation].
abstract: Biliary tract injury results often in biliary scar stricture causing obstructive jaundice and biliary cirrhosis. Choledocho-jejunostomy with tube stent is the routine to prevent anastomotic stenosis, but how long the stent tube should be in place is controversial and little is known on the influence of the stent tube on anastomotic scar formation. In canine experimental models, bili-intestinal scar was sampled 3 weeks, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after anastomosis for ultrastructure stereologic image analysis. It was found that the internal pressure of the stent tube exerting on anastomotic stoma inhibits scar formation, and the stent tube should be remained inside the stoma for not less than 9 months.
