Therapeutic effect of different types of biliary tract reconstruction after resection of congenital choledochal cyst / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of different types of biliary tract reconstruction on the post- resection of congenital choledochal cyst (CCC). Methods 106 cases of CCC undergoing resection of CCC with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy as biliary tract reconstruction were followed up and analysed. Results In this series, three kinds of biliary tract reconstruction were performed, including single Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in 48 cases, intussusceptive valve and rectangular valve lying on the jejunal segmental of Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy in 37 and 21 cases, respectively. 61 cases were followed up for 4.82 years in average. None of them occurred anastomasis stricture. There were 4 cases with ascending cholangitis after primary operation of them 3 after single Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy; symptoms of 2 out of the 3 cases disappeared after reoperation to set up an intussusceptive valve plasty on the jejunal segmental of Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy; another one was in rectangular valve group. Occasional abdominal pain tooke place in 8 patients, of them, 5 in single Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy group, 2 and 1 in intussusceptive valve and rectangular valve groups, respectively. No patients suffered from ascending cholangitis in the intussusceptive valve plasty group. Conclusions The postoperative ascending cholangitis and anastomasis stricture can be prevented effectively, if a prophylactic intussusceptive valve on the jejunal segmental of Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is carried out after resection of CCC for biliary tract reconstruction. This procedure corresponds to the biliary tract physiology.
