Minimally Invasive bile duct repair is an emerging modern technique in hepatobiliary surgery. Conventional laparoscopic technique had been sporadically reported by high volume surgeons as an alternative to open operation, however, the majority of those repairs were undertaken for biliary injury below the biliary bifurcation. Roux-en-Y Hepaticojejunostomy below the biliary bifurcation is technically much simpler to complete when compared to that above the hilar plate (high bile duct injury). The risk of long-term anastomotic stricture is also higher as bile duct caliber decreases. This is anatomically inherent as we travel further cranial beyond the hilar plate. In this multimedia article, we describe our minimally invasive technique for high bile duct injury repair using robotic technology.
