When the hilus of the liver is not accessible for decompression of obstructive jaundice, use of intrahepatic ducts for surgical bypass is a safe and effective technique, as originally described by Bismuth and Corlette in 1975 and later by Blumgart and Kelly in 1984.

摘要

When the hilus of the liver is not accessible for decompression of obstructive jaundice, use of intrahepatic ducts for surgical bypass is a safe and effective technique, as originally described by Bismuth and Corlette in 1975 and later by Blumgart and Kelly in 1984. The general principle is to identify intrahepatic healthy bile duct mucosa proximal to a point of biliary obstruction and to create a mucosa-to-mucosa anastomosis to a long Roux-en-Y loop of jejunum. Anastomosis should provide biliary drainage and relief of symptoms such as jaundice and pruritus. It should be noted that these surgical approaches to biliary decompression have largely been replaced by endoscopic and percutaneous drainage procedures. Nonetheless, they can be helpful in uncommon but important clinical scenarios.
