What is a hepaticojejunostomy/roux en y loop with a bowel resection? what is the prognosis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hepaticojejunostomy: Hepaticojejunostomy is a procedure to drain bile from the liver into the intestines when the normal drainage (common bile duct) has to be removed or is blocked. The "roux-en-y loop" is the segment of bowel that is actually surgically connected to the bile duct. Prognosis depends on the disease process requiring the procedure.
