Obstructing Phytobezoar of an Intrahepatic Bile Duct
Ronald A. Malt, MD
Arch Surg. 1979;114(1):86-87.
Abstract
Drainage of a choledochal cyst with a cystogastrostomy allowed food to reflux into the liver, where it obstructed a major right hepatic duct and produced recurrent cholangitis. Partial hepatectomy was necessary for relief. Drainage of choledochal cysts with a long Roux-en-Y loop seems advisable.
