A member asked:
Tell me about bile duct reconstructive surgery, e.g. a hepatico- or choledochojejunostomy (roux-en-y)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is big surgery: If you need this, likely you don't have an option. This treats injuries or anatomic anomalies of bile ducts. If it works it works, if it doesn't, you will be very sick. Many people who need this are already experiencing a life threatening problem. This should always be performed by a very experienced surgeon. This surgery fixes or causes life threatening problems.
