[Plasty of extrahepatic biliary ducts with the use of ileal autotransplantate].

A method of extrahepatic biliary duct plasty with the use of tubular ileal autotransplantate of 1 sm in diameter was presented in 19 patients with benign strictures. The transplantate on the vascular pedicle was created by resection of the antimesenterial side of the intestinal loop. Distally the anastomosis was performed with the common bile duct, including, thus, papilla Vateri into the bile passage (4 patients). By the impossibility of the latter, the anastomosis was performed with the vertical part of duodenum (16 patients). Postoperative follow-up variated from 1 to 15 years. 18 patients demonstrated good long-term result, 1 patients had a stricture recurrence.
