Gastric sleeve as an extra-anatomical roux for biliary reconstruction in a pediatric third liver transplant.
Pediatric Transplantation 2024 May
BACKGROUND: Sir Roy Calne in 1976 described "Biliary reconstruction is the Achilles heel of liver transplantation," and it remains true. In some patients, such as those with short-gut syndrome and concomitant biliary atresia, neither duct to duct nor Roux biliary reconstruction is feasible.
METHODS: We present a case of child's third liver transplant (LT), where an innovative extra-anatomical biliary bypass was created using a sleeve from greater curvature of the stomach.
RESULTS: The patient is well nearly 10 years following the LT.
CONCLUSIONS: This technique could prove to be an important addition to the armamentarium of a surgeon in difficult retransplants and in patients with short-gut syndrome as it provides a viable option with good long-term outcome.
