Abstract

The use of a vascularized jejunal patch for the reconstruction of bile duct injuries is presented. The method has been used in 1 patient with a common bile duct stricture and in 1 patient with a noncircumferential bile duct defect. The procedure has the advantages of technical simplicity, primary mucosal coverage, lasting elasticity, and minimal risk for stricture formation.

Résumé

L'emploi d'un patch jéjunal bien vascularisé pour traiter les blessures de la voie biliaire fait l'objet de l'article. La méthode a été utilisée pour un cas de sténose de la voie biliaire principale et un cas de plaie n'intéressant pas la totalité de la circonférence du canal biliaire. Elle a pour avantages sa simplicité technique et le fait qu'elle assure une couverture muqueuse, sa persistante élasticité et le fait qu'elle présente un risque réduit de sténose.

Resumen

Se presenta el uso de un parche vascularizado de yeyuno para la reconstrucción de lesiones del canal colédoco. Se reseca un segmento móvil del yeyuno lo suficientemente amplio para cubrir el defecto, asegurándose de que existe buena irrigación para el segmento, visualizando los vasos por transiluminación con luz ordinaria. La continuidad del intestino es restablecida mediante anastomosis término-terminal. Se utiliza la parte mesentérica del segmento intestinal, el cual es ascendido por vía retrocólica. Se sutura mucosa con mucosa con una sola capa de puntos separados de ácido poliglicólico 5-0. Se coloca un tubo-en-T para drenaje, el cual es retirado a las 6 semanas. El método ha sido utilizado en un caso de estenosis del colédoco y en un caso con un defecto circunferencial del mismo canal biliar. El procedimiento tiene la ventaja de la simplicidad técnica, la cobertura primaria de la mucosa, la elasticidad permanente y un mínimo riesgo de que se produzca estenosis.
