Choledochojejunostomy revision performed by using the laparoscopic linear cutter.
Choledochojejunostomy is commonly performed for biliary bypass for benign and malignant disease. Anastomotic stricture is a known complication of enteric surgery. We report the use of the laparoscopic linear cutter at laparotomy to revise a choledochojejunostomy created 12 years previously for benign disease.
