Core Tip	In this study, a modified choledochojejunostomy (CJ) technique was proposed. A T-tube was placed at the CJ site to support the reconstructed biliary tract, and external drainage was performed during CJ, which effectively reduced the incidence of postoperative biliary stricture. Compared with traditional internal drainage of the CJ, the incidence of biliary complications such as post-operative biliary leakage was significantly lower, length of hospital stay was reduced and patient postoperative quality of life was greatly improved. This technique has high clinical value and is worthy of clinical promotion and application.
