Popis: | We studied a method of biliary decompression used in the management of obstruction high in the common hepatic duct. The procedure is known as the round ligament approach, and involves an intra-hepatic entero-biliary anastomosis to a branch of the left hepatic duct. Post-mortem studies of the anatomy of this duct were performed, and revealed the anatomy to be constant. We also present our clinical experience with this procedure, which was used in the management of four patients. The procedure was found to be technically feasible, and useful in offering palliative bypass for malignant hilar duct obstruction. |
