Safety and efficacy of hepaticoduodenostomy for biliary reconstruction after extrahepatic mid-bile duct cancer surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bile duct resection and reconstruction for bile duct cancer (BDC) is a complex surgical and oncologic procedure that requires extensive resection and reconstruction of the biliary tract. Hepaticojejunostomy is commonly performed for biliary reconstruction after extrahepatic mid-bile duct resection, while hepaticoduodenostomy (HD) is performed only rarely due to the risk of ascending cholangitis. However, the efficacy of HD has not been well-established in extrahepatic mid-BDC surgery. In this study, we aimed to analyze the outcomes of HD in patients who underwent bile duct resection for extrahepatic mid-BDC.

Methods

We retrospectively analyzed 38 extrahepatic mid-BDC patients who underwent bile duct resection in our center between January 2018 and June 2023. We co
