Redo laparoscopic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy for recurrent benign biliary strictures after failed primary anastomosis: technical nuances and mid-term outcomes.

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
backgroundRecurrent benign biliary strictures after failed hepaticojejunostomy remain a major surgical challenge, particularly in East Asia. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility and mid-term outcomes of a structured, risk-adapted protocol for redo laparoscopic Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy (RYHJ).
methodsBetween June 2019 and December 2024, 26 consecutive patients underwent redo laparoscopic RYHJ performed by a single surgeon. Patients were preoperatively stratified according to the Hobson adhesion grade (I-V) into low-risk (I-II), moderate-risk (III), and high-risk (IV-V) groups. In patients classified as high risk, a standardized intraoperative strategy incorporating indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence cholangiography via pre-established percutaneous transhepatic cholangiodrainage and refined anastomotic techniques was applied. Key operative steps were prospectively video documented. Primary and secondary endpoints included technical success, perioperative outcomes, and biliary patency during follow-up.
resultsRedo laparoscopic reconstruction was successfully completed in all patients. The median operative time was 210 min (range 150-378) and median blood loss was 55 mL (range 10-200).Patients with higher Hobson grades demonstrated increased technical complexity and a higher incidence of early postoperative bile leakage. In the final six high-risk cases, no bile leaks or anastomotic strictures were observed during a median follow-up of 36 months, despite increased operative complexity.
conclusionsRedo laparoscopic RYHJ using Hobson-guided protocols yielded durable mid-term outcomes with acceptble morbidity. In high-risk patients, the standardized use of ICG fluorescence and refined anastomotic techniques contributed to improved safety, representing a reproducible and clinically practical technical refinement for complex redo biliary surgery.
