Cholangiojejunostomy for multiple biliary ducts in living donor liver transplantation: A case report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Laparoscopic living donor hepatectomy (LLDH) has been successfully carried out in several transplant centers. Biliary reconstruction is key in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Reliable biliary reconstruction can effectively prevent postoperative biliary stricture and leakage. Although preoperative magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography and intraoperative indocyanine green cholangiography have been shown to be helpful in determining optimal division points, biliary variability and limitations associated with LLDH, multiple biliary tracts are often encountered during surgery, which inhibits biliary reconstruction. A reliable cholangiojejunostomy for multiple biliary ducts has been utilized in LDLT. This procedure provides a reference for multiple biliary rec
