Abstract:

Objective:To determine the incidence of post operative stricture following hepaticojejunostomy for benign and malignant disease.
Study Design: Prospective Cohort Study Place and Duration of Study: Department of General Surgery, MTI-Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar from jan 2024 to Dec 2024. (12 months).
Methodology: Fifty-two patients of either gender scheduled for hepaticojejunostomy for benign and malignant disease confirmed on CT scan were included. Sample size was calculated using WHO software taking 12.50%12 proportion of post operative stricture with 80% power of test and 5% significance level. After the surgery, patients were followed up for three months for biliary-enteric stricture following biliary-enteric anastomosis i.e hepaticojejunostomy. On clinical evaluation during follow up visit, patients were identified as having a stricture if they had an International Classification of Diseases, 9th Edition (ICD-9) code for biliary obstruction.
Results: Overall, 10 (19.2%) patients had post operative stricture following hepaticojejunostomy for benign and malignant bile duct tumors.
Conclusion: This study demonstrated that the occurrence of stricture after biliary-enteric anastomosis is relatively common among elderly individuals.

Keywords:Post Operative Stricture, Hepaticojejunostomy, Benign Bile Duct Tumors, Malignant Bile Duct Tumors.
