OBJECTIVES
To assess the effectiveness of retro pyloric Roux-En-Y Hepaticojejunostomy in cases of choledochal cysts and bile duct injuries to reduce complications, such as delayed gastric emptying and acute cholangitis.
METHODOLOGY
This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the surgical C unit of Hayatabad Medical Complex, Peshawar (January 2019 - December 2022). This study included 37 patients treated for bile duct injuries and choledochal cysts. All patients had an ASA III or above, aged 5 to 36 years. Amongst the 35 patients, 21 patients underwent surgery for choledochal cysts, while 14 patients were treated for bile duct injuries. Patients with type 1choledochal cysts were admitted through OPD after getting diagnosed by ultrasound abdomen and, in some cases, MRCP.
RESULTS
Out of 36 patients, 23 (63.71%) presented with type I choledochal cysts, while 14 (40%) exhibited bile duct injuries (BDI). Among the 14 BDI cases, 57.14% underwent open cholecystectomy, 42.85% underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 5.71% received immediate repair during the primary surgery. Conversely, 8.57% of patients with CBD ligation underwent exploration on the 3rd postoperative day upon early detection of the injury. Among the patients diagnosed with BDI after the 7th postoperative day, 25.71% underwent delayed repair at three months. Postoperatively, patients were authorized for fluid consumption within 24-48 hours. Moreover, 4 (11.42%) patients developed a fever of approximately 100°F, managed with intravenous Paracetamol in 2 (5.71%) cases. Patients also presented with subsequent wound infections, which were treated on an outpatient basis through oral antibiotics and wound dressing.
CONCLUSION
The Retropyloric Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy is a modified biliary reconstruction procedure with minimal morbidity and better outcomes than traditional methods. It reduces complications like delayed gastric emptying and acute cholangitis. We recommend its frequent use for biliary reconstruction when appropriate.
