AbstractHepaticocutaneous jejunostomy offers the advantage of permanent percutaneous access to the biliary tract in patients with complex biliary problems. The long-term value, however, has not been assessed. In 41 patients who underwent this procedure for intrahepatic stones, there was no hospital mortality, and the postoperative morbidity rate was 10%. The presence of the cutaneous stoma facilitated postoperative flexible choledochoscopy for dilatation of biliary strictures and extraction of residual stones. On follow-up, symptoms recurred in 12 patients (29%) at a median time of 27 months (range: 1 to 97 months). Reconstruction of the cutaneous stoma and flexible choledochoscopy via the jejunal loop helped to resolve the acute cholangitis (n=4) and to eradicate recurrent stones in all cases. Hepaticocutaneous jejunostomy was also beneficial in the management of three patients who experienced further recurrence of symptoms. There was no major difficulty in reconstructing the cutaneous stoma and in performing choledochoscopy via the jejunal loop. The overall complication rate related to the cutaneous stoma was 15%. Repeat laparotomy for recurrent disease was required in only one patient who underwent a second bilio-enteric anastomosis for a nondilatable left duct stricture. We conclude that hepaticocutaneous jejunostomy is a valuable procedure in the management of hepatolithiasis. © 1993 Reed Publishing USA.
