Acute afferent loop necrosis after Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy

Abstract: Afferent loop necrosis after Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy biliary reconstruction is rare. We present the case of a 36-year-old woman with acute necrotic afferent loop obstruction. The peripheral area of the Roux-en-Y limb, including the cholangiojejunostomy portion, was twisted just proximal to the cholangiojejunostomy. Cholangiojejunostomy was completely separated due to necrosis of the Roux-en-Y jejunum. In addition to the case report, we discuss features of cholangiojejunostomy that require special attent… Show more

“…Roux-en-Y cholangiojejunostomy, as a standard surgical procedure, is widely applied for the treatment of biliary stricture in clinical entity [1][2][3]. However, serious shortand long-term complications in some patients after surgery may still occur, especially postoperative biliary stricture or intrahepatic calculosis, which often need to be further treated via second or even multiple surgery, thus, causing great trauma and economic burden to the patients [4][5][6].…”

“…The migration of bacteria from the intestine to the intrahepatic ducts increases the risk of cholangitis [14][15][16][17]. In addition, possible complications of anastomotic leak [14,16], anastomotic stenosis [18], hemorrhage [14], wound infection [14,16], intra-abdominal abscess [14,16] and Roux loop necrosis [19] are of major concerns. Cysto-cholecystostomy was previously utilized in treatment of hydatid cysts [20].…”
