Duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation utilizing right lobe graft

OBJECTIVE: To assess the feasibility and safety of duct-to-duct biliary anastomosis for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) utilizing the right lobe. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: Biliary tract complications remain one of the most serious problems after liver transplantation. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy has been a standard procedure for biliary reconstruction in LDLT with a partial hepatic graft. However, end-to-end choledochocholedochostomy is the technique of choice for biliary reconstruction and yields a more physiologic bilioenteric continuity than can be achieved with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. The authors performed right lobe LDLT with end-to-end duct-to-duct biliary anastomosis, and this study assessed retrospectively the relation between the manner of reconstruction and complications. METHODS: Between July 1999 and December 2000, 51 patients (11-67 years of age) underwent 52 right lobe LDLTs with duct-to-duct biliary reconstruction and remained alive more than 1 month after their transplantation. Interrupted biliary anastomosis was performed for 24 transplants and the continuous procedure was used for 28. A biliary tube was inserted downward into the common bile ducts through the recipient's cystic duct in 16 transplants (cystic drainage), or a biliary stent tube was pushed upward into the anastomosis through the cystic duct in four transplants (cystic stent), or upward into the anastomosis through the wall of the common bile duct in 31 transplants (external stent). RESULTS: Biliary anastomotic procedures consisted of 34 single end-to-end anastomoses, 11 double end-to-end anastomoses, and 7 single anastomoses for double hepatic ducts. Overall, 5 patients developed leakage (9.6%) and 12 patients suffered stricture (23.0%). For biliary anastomosis with interrupted suture, the incidence of stricture was significantly higher in the cystic drainage group (53.3%, 8/15) than in the stent group consisting of cystic stent and external stent (0%, 0/8). While the respective incidences of leakage and stricture were 20% and 53.3% for intermittent suture with a cystic drainage tube (n = 15), they were 7.7% and 15.4% for a continuous suture with an external stent (n = 26). There was a significant difference in the incidence of stricture. CONCLUSIONS: Duct-to-duct reconstruction with continuous suture combined with an external stent represents a useful technique for LDLT utilizing the right lobe, but biliary complications remain significant.     

Biliary reconstruction following right adult living donor liver transplantation end-to-end or end-to-side duct-to-duct anastomosis

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Bile duct complications are the modern Achilles' heel of adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation. A duct-to-duct anastomosis is currently performed in the presence of single graft ducts, while cholangiojejunostomy is used to drain multiple ducts. Our aim is to describe the feasibility of duct-to-duct anastomoses independent of the presence of one or multiple graft bile ducts. METHODS: The probe technique for right bile duct dissection in donors and a proximal hilar bile duct division in recipients are illustrated. The BARIGA LDLT (biliary anastomosis in right graft for adult living donor liver transplantation recipients) with end-to-side or end-to-end hepatico-hepaticostomy was used in five recipients of right grafts (segments 5-8). RESULTS: All donors and recipients are doing well; all grafts are functional at 13 months. Duct-to-duct anastomoses to single, double, or triple graft ducts have been performed. Two early anastomotic stenoses at 5 and 10 weeks were successfully treated endoscopically. CONCLUSION: The duct-to-duct anastomosis represents a valid alternative to the standard hepaticojejunostomy for right living donor liver grafts. Using this method, biliary complications can be treated endoscopically. End-to-side or end-to-end BARIGA LDLT has the potential to become a standard method in segmental transplantation, including split liver.     

High hilar dissection: new technique to reduce biliary complication in living donor liver transplantation.

Biliary complications after living donor liver transplantation (LDLT) continue to be problematic. For reducing the biliary complications, the authors applied an intrahepatic Glissonian approach to the recipient hepatectomy. We called this Glissonian dissection technique at the high hilar level high hilar dissection (HHD). In this study, we introduced this HHD technique and evaluated its outcome in 31 recipients of a living donor liver transplant (LDLT). With total occlusion of hepatoduodenal ligament Glissonia pedicles were divided at the intrahepatic level at the third level of pedicles or beyond. After portal vein and hepatic artery were isolated from the hepatoduodenal ligament, unused bile ducts and bleeding were controlled with continuous suture of the hilar plate. Single duct anastomosis was performed in about 21 and dual duct anastomosis in 10 recipients. Bile leakage of the biliary anastomosis did not occur. There were 6 biliary complications in five patients; 2 bile leaks from the cut liver surface and 4 biliary strictures of which one of unknown etiology. In none of the patients with biliary complications, conversion to a hepaticojejunostomy was necessary. This new HHD technique during recipient hepatectomy may contribute to reduce the biliary complications in duct-to-duct anastomosis by allowing a tension free anastomosis and preserving adequate blood supply to the bile duct. Moreover, it facilitates multiple ductal anastomoses without difficult surgical manipulation.     

"Hepar divisum"--as a rare donor complication after intraoperative mortality of the recipient of an intended living donor liver transplantation.

In this study, we present our experience with 4 healthy donors having the rare condition of "hepar divisum" after the intraoperative death of the recipient of an intended right adult living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). The study included 4 donors and 4 intended right LDLT recipients affected by neuroendocrine tumor (n = 2), hepatocellular carcinoma (n = 1), and cryptogenic cirrhosis (n = 1). All 4 recipients died intraoperatively. At the time of recipient death, the dissection of the donor liver parenchyma was complete, the vessels intact, and the hepatic duct(s) already divided. In each case, reconstruction of the donor biliary tract was performed: hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) in 2 cases, each with 3 ducts, and duct-to-duct anastomosis in 2. Of the donors receiving the HJ, 1 had a cut surface bile leak and the other experienced an anastomotic leak, treated by percutaneous drainage and reoperation, respectively. The latter patient experienced recurrent HJ stenosis at 44 months and 50 months after the operation and was treated by percutaneous balloon dilatation. One duct-to-duct reconstruction was complicated by early stenosis (postoperative day 6) and treated with endoscopic stenting. In conclusion, in the case of intraoperative death of the recipient of an intended LDLT, when the parenchyma and the hepatic duct of the donor have already been divided, the options are completion of the donor hepatectomy or the status of "fegatum divisum" with reconstruction of biliary tract. The high incidence of biliary complication, however, is of concern. When more than 1 hepatic duct is present, the donor hepatectomy should be completed and the graft reallocated according to the policy of the transplant institution.     

Introduction of microsurgical technique to biliary reconstruction in living donor liver transplantation

OBJECTIVE: High rates of biliary complications continue to be a major concern associated with living donor liver transplantation (LDLT). In this article, we report our experience of applying a microsurgical technique to biliary reconstruction in LDLT. PATIENTS AND METHODS: From January 2001 to December 2005, 32 patients underwent LDLTs (8 children and 24 adults). Biliary reconstruction for 43 hepatic duct orifices in the 32 donor grafts 21 duct-to-duct anastomoses, and 22 cholangiojejunostomies. Nine cholangiojejunostomies in 4 donors used a microsurgical technique under an operative microscope. RESULTS: Biliary complications weren't observed among the cases of cholangiojejunostomy using a microsurgical technique. An anastomotic biliary leakage was found in a recipient with cholangiojejunostomy performed using a surgical loupe and a biliary stricture in another recipient who underwent duct-to-duct anastomoses using a surgical loupe. CONCLUSION: Introduction of a microsurgical technique for biliary reconstruction in LDLT, especially using an operating microscope in the setting of hepatico-jejunostomy for small hepatic duct (< or =2 mm in diameter), showed good results. We believe that using the operative microscope for biliary reconstruction could reduce the incidence of biliary complications associated with LDLT.     

Biliary Complications After Pediatric Liver Transplantation

ObjectivesAfter liver transplantation, biliary complications are more prevalent in pediatric patients, with reported rates varying between 15% and 30%.MethodsWe retrospectively analyzed biliary complications observed in 84 pediatric liver transplantation patients between July 2006 and September 2012. Biliary reconstruction was accomplished via a duct-to-duct anastomosis in 5 (83.3%) of the 6 patients receiving whole liver grafts and in 44 (56.4%) of the 78 patients who received a segmental live donor graft. For the remaining 34 patients with living donor and 1 patient with whole liver graft, Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was the preferred method.ResultsPost-transplantation biliary complications were encountered in 26 patients (30.1%). The biliary complication rate was 38% in 49 duct-to-duct anastomosis, whereas it was 20% in the hepaticojejunostomy group consisting of 35 recipients. Thirteen of the 18 biliary leaks were from duct-to-duct anastomoses and the remaining 5 were from the hepaticojejunostomies and 6 of the 8 biliary strictures were observed in recipients with duct-to-duct anastomosis. In 19 of the 26 patients, the biliary complications were successfully treated with interventional radiologic procedures and 1 was treated with stent placement during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.ConclusionsPercutaneous interventional procedures are valuable, effective, and life-saving therapeutic alternatives for the treatment of bile leaks and strictures after pediatric liver transplantations.     

Transhepatic biliary catheterization before graft implant in living donor liver transplantation

AIM: Despite the evolution in surgical technique, the biliary anastomosis remains the technical Achilles' heel of liver transplantation, especially in living donor liver transplantation. Interventional radiology or endoscopic procedures constitute the most common options to treat complications from the biliary anastomosis. We report a novel technique to prevent biliary complications following the transplant. METHODS: During the donor procedure a wire guide was introduced in the severed duct, left or right, in retrograde fashion. The liver surface was then perforated and the wire guide exposed. A 4F catheter was then attached to the wire guide and pulled into the bile duct passing through the end-to-end duct-to-duct anastomosis or hepaticojejunostomy. RESULTS: This technique was performed in six living donor grafts: one right lobe, two left lobes, and three left lateral segments. All patients had no complications from the stent placement, biliary strictures, or leaks. One developed a hepatic artery thrombosis on the posttransplant day 14 with no major biliary complications.
