Of 100 cases, 70 received biliary reconstruction with end-end anastomosis and 30 Roux-en-Y. It was found 10 cases was diagnosed having the complications in the former and 15 in the latter. Biliary complications were 25% which were defined as morbidity related to biliary reconstruction needing surgical or instrumental treatment, radiological evidence of duct narrowing or obstruction, or bile leakage. Complications were suspected on clinical, biological or microbiological evidence, and confirmed by cholangiography. The purposes of this study were to document the frequency of biliary complications and strictrues after orthotopic liver transplantation, and to examine associations with suspected risk factors.
