Duct-to-duct anastomosis (DDA) and hepaticojejunostomy (HJ) are options for biliary reconstruction in patients undergoing adult-to-adult right lobe living donor liver transplantation (ARLDLT), after which biliary anastomotic stricture (BAS) is common as a complication. The risk factors for BAS are n
In living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), bile duct reconstruction is often technically demanding due to the frequently anomalous anatomy of the bile duct, as well as the high incidence of biliary complications. A bile duct branch may also be accidentally left without anastomosis at the time of
We thank Dr. Takatsuki and colleagues for their comments on our article. 1 In the cases described in our work, the recipient died when the operation in the donor had already progressed beyond the division of the hepatic duct. As a consequence of the resulting "hepar divisum" we found that biliary co
