Biliary complications in 106 consecutive duct to duct biliary reconstruction in right lobe living donor liver transplantation performed in 1 year in a single center a new surgical technique. Transplant Proc. 43, 917–920.https://hdl.handle.net/11616/7724Objective. Biliary complications remain a major source of morbidity after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). Of 109 consecutive right lobe (RL)-LDLTs performed in 1 year in our institution, we present the biliary complications among 106 patients who underwent a new duct-to-duct anastomosis technique known as University of Inonu. Methods. Of 153 liver transplantations performed in 1 year from January to December of 2008, 128 were LDLTs including 109 RL-LDLTs. The others were left or left lateral grafts. All RL-LDLT patients were adults, all of whom except three included a duct-toduct anastomosis. Results. All, but three, biliary reconstructions were completed with a surgical technique, so called UI, in which 6-0 prolene sutures were used. Nine bile leaks were seen in 106 recipients (8.49%) performed in a duct-to-duct fashion in a time period of 1 to 4 weeks. Seventeen patients (16.03%) posed bile duct stricture (BDS). Five patients had both. Although endoscopic stent placement and percutaneous balloon dilatation, 4 patients continued to suffer from BDS on whom a permanent access hepatico-jejunostomy (PAHJ) procedures were performed. Conclusion. We recommend a duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction because of its de facto advantages over other types of anastomosis provided the native duct is not diseased. After almost 2 years, the bile tract complication rate was 22.64%.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArticle4391792010.1016/j.transproceed.2010.11.024
