Accessory hepatic duct associated with a choledochal cyst

Abstract: This case report describes an accessory hepatic duct (AHD) identified by intraoperative cholangiography during excisional surgery of a choledochal cyst (CC). The accessory duct was divided and reconstructed successfully to the Roux-en-Y jejunal loop. The postoperative course was uneventful, and follow-up abdominal sonography revealed neither evidence of biliary tract obstruction nor atrophic changes of the liver. It is advocated that an AHD should be meticulously reconstructed if it is divided during excisiona… Show more

“…No general recommendation can be given for the pharmacological prevention of recurrent bile duct stones (very low quality evidence; weak recommendation) Comment: Recurrent bile duct stones are observed in 5-20% of patients after endoscopic sphincterotomy [206][207][208][209][210][211] and can usually be removed endoscopically. Currently, there are no validated prophylactic measures.…”

“…[6], [7] Caution to identify the presence of anomalous arterial supply cannot be overemphasized, since it is the only way to avoid injury or accidental ligation -both of which can result in a major surgical disaster. The aberrant artery running in front of the common hepatic duct can be easily displaced behind the jejunal loop at the time of reconstruction.…”
