Brief summary

The investigators developed a new surgical technique in order to reconstruct the bile duct with the round ligament

Detailed description

Classically, the bile duct defect after bile duct injury or resection is achieved by bilioenteric reconstruction. However bilioenteric anastomosis is associated with long term complications including intrahepatic bile ducts infection, specific complications related to the Roux en Y jejunal loop and eliminate the endoscopic access to intrahepatic bile ducts. The investigators had recently developed a new surgical technique to reconstruct the veins with the parietal peritoneum with excellent results. Accordingly the investigators decided to develop a new surgical technique in order to reconstruct the bile duct defects with the vascularized round ligament.

Interventions

PROCEDUREReconstruction of the bile duct with the round ligament

In patients who had bile duct defect by injury or resection, the Round ligament will be used to reconstruct the defect. Surgical technique, the early and long term postoperative measures are detailed in the investigators protocol.
