Dear Editor-in-chief,

It is our pleasure to submit our video titled “Instructional Video For Hepaticojejunostomy Anastomosis Ensuring Evenly Spaced Sutures” to the esteemed JGIS journal for consideration for publication.

This video was presented as a podium presentation at the DDW/SSAT 2023 conference in Chicago earlier this year.

In this video, we demonstrate a surgical technique involving construction of a hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) anastomosis that ensures even spacing between the sutures regardless of the size of the common bile duct. This is demonstrated via a series of illustrations followed by live demonstration of a HJ anastomosis created during a Whipple procedure.

We hope that this video contributes significantly to the existing literature as part of a high quality video demonstration.

Sincerely

Mujtaba Mubashir, MD, on behalf of Matthew Walsh, MD and the authors
