Hepatocholangioenterostomy

Hepatocholangioenterostomy (HCE) is a surgical procedure that involves creating a direct connection between the gallbladder, liver, and small intestine. It can be performed in cases of biliary obstruction, cirrhosis of the liver, liver cancer or other diseases that require removal of the gallbladder and restoration of patency of the bile ducts.

Typically, GCE is performed through an incision in the right hypochondrium, where the gallbladder and liver are located. After making an incision, the surgeon removes the gallbladder and then creates a direct connection between the remaining liver and intestines. To do this, he uses a special tube called an enterostomy. The tube is inserted into the small intestine and fixed to the intestinal wall with special sutures.

After creating a connection between the liver and intestine, the surgeon checks that all ducts are in the correct position and functioning properly. He then closes the incision and stitches the skin.

GCE is a complex operation that requires highly qualified surgeons and the use of special equipment. However, it can be very effective in treating many diseases related to the bile ducts and can significantly improve the patient's quality of life.



Hepatocholedochoenterostomy is a surgical procedure aimed at connecting the gallbladder, liver and intestinal tract to treat certain diseases. This is a serious operation requiring experienced medical personnel and careful preparation, carried out when there are certain medical indications.
