Abstract
In recent years, with the improvement in surgeons' understanding of the anatomical characteristics of biliary structures, the application of pedicled umbilical vein patch (PUVP) repair under laparotomy has become increasingly common[1-3]. Our center began performing this procedure in 1986 to improve efficacy[4,5]. Compared with that under laparotomy, suturing under laparoscopy may be challenging due to vision and movement restrictions, especially for end-to-end anastomosis, which has not been reported in previous series. More than 4000 laparoscopic operations have been carried out in our center since its establishment. This study aimed to demonstrate the laparoscopic repair of left hepatic duct stenosis with the PUVP for hepatolithiasis (Video S1, Video S2, Video S3).
