Abstract
Abstract Background This study presents an invented surgical technique for dealing with biliary-enteric anastomotic strictures with the potential to replace currently used methods in certain cases. Methods In this retrospective study, a novel surgical technique was introduced in the management of eight patients with bilioenteric strictures between January 2016 and May 2018. Results Our new technique was associated with a 100% success rate where patency of anastomosis was achieved in all patients along the 28 month follow-up period. Only two of the patients developed a complication including wound-site infection, and cholangitis at the 17th month follow-up. None of the patients developed intrahepatic biliary dilation or stricture recurrence. Conclusions This novel surgical approach may reduce recurrent medical and radiological interventions and the need for anastomosis revision. It may also lessen the rate of complications. However, larger scale studies are needed to confirm such findings.
