| Core Tip |
This retrospective study of 366 liver transplant after brainstem death, demonstrates that anastomotic biliary stricture remains a significant complication, occurring in 10.7% of patients. Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ) was associated with significantly lower rates of bile leaks and anastomotic strictures compared to duct-to-duct anastomosis. However, patients undergoing primary RYHJ had higher reoperation and retransplantation rates, primarily due to selection bias, as RYHJ was preferentially performed in patients with complex recipient pathology. Early detection and appropriate management with a stepwise approach—from endoscopic intervention to surgical revision—are crucial for optimising post-transplant outcomes. |
