RESUMEN
Objective To study the causes and management of the reoperation after cholangiointestiostomy(CIS). Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the clinical data of 28 cases of reoperation after CIS from June 1995 to June 1999. Results Among the 28 cases, 26 cases(92%) had CIS anastomotic stenosis. Of the 26 cases, 9 cases accompanied with left hepatobiliary duct stenosis, 3 cases with right hepatobiliary duct stenosis, 5 cases with left and right hepatobiliary ducts stenosis. 9 cases with biliary reflux comfirmed by barium meal radiography, all of the 9 cases were subjected to a choleduodenostomy. Of the 28 patients, 3 underwent reanastomose after excision the primary anstomosis, 8 operated with hilar bile duct reform and left lateral hepatolobectomy, 2 with left hepatic duct jejunostomy and hilar bile duct jejunostomy. 15 cases with intrahepatic bile duct jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis, after resolved the intrahepatic bile duct stenosis. Conclusions The basic cause of reoperation after CIS is anastomotic stenosis, the other causes are as follows: the selected operation is unsuitable, the intrahepatic bile duct stenosis is not resolved, and the stonedoes not clean out completly. When reoperation is performed on these cases, the following principles must be abided by: romoving all the stones, resolving the stenosis, making a clear drainage; and performing hepatic lobectomy, anastomotic sustaining and drainage, and cholefibroscopic management must be done if needed.
