Biliary Complication Rates in Living Donor Liver Transplantation: a Retrospective Comparative Study of Stent Versus Non-Stent Groups

Sponsor: Chungnam National University Hospital

Summary

Despite technological advancements in living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), biliary complications (BC), including biliary anastomotic stricture (BAS) and bile leak (BL), remain unresolved issues that significantly affect patient outcomes. Biliary stenting has emerged as a potential method for reducing BC in LDLT procedures; however, their necessity remains debated. This study aimed to assess the necessity of biliary stenting by retrospectively comparing the bile duct complication rates in LDLT using duct-to-duct anastomosis with or without biliary stenting.
