Background: Access-loop Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ), an interesting and an unique surgical technique described in the past seems to have resurfaced amidst commendation and condemnation.
Methods: The technique involves the incorporation of a cutaneous access stoma in the Roux-en-Y loop of jejunum used for the anastomosis. This stoma provides permanent access to the bilio-enteric anastomosis and thus to the hepatobiliary tree for non-operative management of chronic and recurrent biliary tract problems. Here we are presenting our experience in 22 cases managed by us with “access-loop Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (HJ)” over a period of 15 years (2001 to 2016).
Results: 22 cases were managed successfully. The maximum follow-up was for 05 years with no recurrence or stricture only 01 patient had a small Incisional hernia.
Conclusions: The objective of this work is to, describe an optional technique (although less known and practiced) during the accomplishment of a "roux-en-Y" hepaticojejunostomy that, allows future endoscopic and interventional radiology access to the bilio-enteric anastomosis.
