Study Type: Interventional
Official Title: Transcystic Versus Transanastomotic Biliary Drainage Tubes in Living Donor Liver Transplantation. A Prospective Randomized Trial.
Brief Summary: To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the use of transcystic biliary drainage tube (not transanastomotic) in comparison to the usual transanastomotic biliary drainage tube.
Detailed Summary:
a biliary drainage tube is usually inserted into the biliary passage after choledocho-choledochostomy (bile duct to bile duct joining).
A 4F or 5F biliary catheter (Marquat Genie biomedical, france) is used in all cases.
the study is to compare the effectiveness and safety of 2 different placement techniques:
- the usual trans-anastomotic position (the tube is placed across the anastomosis line with the tip inside the intrahepatic biliary branches) through an opening in the wall of the recipient's common bile duct
- a transcystic non-anastomotic position (the tube is placed through the cystic duct opening into the distal common bile duct not passing through anastomosis)
