title: [A variant of hepatico-jejunostomy in Klatskin tumors].
abstract: The authors present their own variant of performing anastomoses between the common hepatic duct/right and left hepatic ducts and the jejunum in radical treatment of Klatskin tumors. The procedure is indicated in cases of proximal (hilar) resection of both hepatic ducts, in technical difficulties for performing the standard drainage protected end-to-side anastomosis between the right and left hepatic ducts on the one hand and the jejunum on the other as well as a method for double biliary derivation. The advantages of the procedure include decreased incidence rate of bile leakage in the subhepatic region, low risk of diffuse biliary peritonitis respectively and restricted possibility of intestinal reflux into the biliary tract.
