Dear Seema Nanda We are sorry for your problem and from your agoni. Benign anastomotic stricture after hepaticojejunostomy is one of the most serious complications of biliary reconstructive surgery. If it is left untreated, jaundice, cholangitis, or liver cirrhosis may develop. The most common potential risk factors for stricture formation are: 1. Bile duct ischemia 2. Multiple prior attempts at repair 3. Intra-abdominal abscess or bile collection 4. External or internal biliary fistula 5. Anastomosis in an undilated duct 6. Preoperative and postoperative percutaneous biliary drainage 7. Any comorbidities that might compromise visceral perfusion. In your case a thorough investigation is required and then endoscopic or percutaneous route using balloon dilatation or stent placement can be tried. If this fails the Heineke-Mikulicz strictureplasty should be performed. This is just the advise we are giving according to your history for more complete decision we need to examine you and once all the investigation is done, we can decide. With regards J S Chowhan |
