Orthotopic liver transplantation has been performed in Birmingham since 1982. Two types of biliary reconstruction have been used, the choledocho-choledochostomy and the choledocho-cholecysto-choledochostomy (gallbladder (GB) conduit). A retrospective study was undertaken to compare the biliary tract complications encountered at cholangiography in these two groups to assess which reconstruction is safest. In the gallbladder (GB) conduit reconstruction, the incidence of biliary leakage (20.4%) and stricture formation (14.4%), the two most serious complications, was higher than in end-to-end duct anastomosis (11% and 10%, respectively), though these differences did not reach statistical significance. This supports evidence from other centres that the choledocho-choledochostomy is the procedure of choice to minimize biliary complications. Biliary debris (14.2%) presented additional problems and was strongly associated with biliary strictures. T-tube related problems were least troublesome. The close relationship between hepatic artery occlusion and biliary complications, particularly leakage, noted in other studies is also emphasized. |
