Popis: Biliary duct injuries pose a significant management challenge due to the propensity for recurrent biliary strictures. Development of a modified Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy known as a Hutson–Russell Pouch (HRP) provides a point of entry for repetitive access to the biliary tree. We aim to highlight the effectiveness of using the HRP as an access point for the long-term management of anastomotic and distal biliary strictures, thereby showcasing the value in potential widespread adoption of this modification to a standard surgical procedure. IRB-approved retrospective study of 36 patients (10 M, 26 F; mean age 55.19 ± 13.94; 15–83) underwent a total of 110 transjejunal cholangiograms. Indications for cholangiogram included cholangitis (n = 38), surveillance (n = 36), and elevated liver enzymes (n = 36). Technical success was defined by the ability to access and intervene in the biliary tree via HRP access. In case of stenosis, the ability to successfully dilate (
