Abstract:
In ten pigs ligature dissection and side-to-side reanastomosis was performed as a model for biliary reconstruction after liver transplantation. Results were satisfying with no complications, such as bile leakage, cholangitis, obstruction, or stenosis in a follow-up of 3-12 months. The same technique was used in a transplantation program with rhesus monkeys so far showing the same good results.
