Reoperation related to Roux-en-Y jejunal limb after hepaticojejunostomy of choledochal cyst.
Article in Pediatric surgery international, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo summarize the case data of reoperations related to the Roux-en-Y jejunal limb following hepaticojejunostomy for choledochal cysts at our center, aiming to provide insights into the prevention of adverse events.
methodA retrospective analysis was conducted on five cases from April 2019 to October 2024 at our center, in which reoperations were required due to errors in the Roux-en-Y jejunal limb following hepaticojejunostomy for choledochal cysts. Among the patients, four were female, and one was male. Three cases presented with recurrent cholangitis and intestinal dilatation, while two cases involved Roux-en-Y jejunal limb necrosis and bile leakage. All patients underwent laparotomy for exploration. Surgical outcomes, operation times, and treatment approaches were summarized, and the duration of hospitalization and postoperative outcomes were also analyzed.
resultIn three cases with recurrent cholangitis, intraoperative exploration revealed a misconnection in the Roux-en-Y anastomosis, due to the formation of a jejunal limb from the elevated proximal jejunum. Corrective Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy was then performed. Symptoms such as cholangitis and intestinal dilation were completely alleviated postoperatively. In two cases with bile leakage, necrotic jejunal limbs were resected, followed by corrective Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy. After reoperation, the bile leakage was resolved, and infection indicators returned to normal. The average postoperative hospital stay was 10.5 ± 5.5 days (range: 5-21 days), with a median follow-up of 12 months (range: 2-53 months). Follow-up results indicated that the patients were in good general condition, with no abnormalities in liver function tests, and no elevation of infection markers detected during follow-up.
conclusionReoperations due to technical errors or necrosis in Roux-en-Y jejunal limbs are uncommon, the complications caused by the Roux-en-Y jejunal limbs can be very severe and even life-threatening. Early diagnosis and timely surgical intervention can effectively relieve symptoms and reduce patient suffering. Preventive measures should be prioritized since adherence to standard procedures can help prevent these complications.
