Complications after cholecystoenterostomy? How common are these complications?

There are many common complications in the postoperative period of choledochojejunostomy, such as blockage at the anastomosis site, stones in the bile duct, bile duct infection or bile fistula, etc. Of course, the patient may also have a fever after choledochojejunostomy, and in severe cases, cholangitis or jaundice may occur.
The bile duct is a very important organ in our human body. It is mainly responsible for the transportation of bile, which is indispensable to help us digest food. However, improper diet or other factors may lead to bile duct blockage. The treatment for this disease is choledochojejunostomy. So what are the complications of choledochojejunostomy?

Choledochojejunostomy is to connect the bile duct and intestines near the blocked part. In this way, the bile in the body can directly enter the intestines through this interface, just like opening another road from the road after one end is blocked. At present, choledochojejunostomy is generally used as a treatment for bile duct obstruction caused by benign and malignant tumors of the bile duct. Although choledochojejunostomy can help the body's bile be transported to the intestines, some complications caused by the operation are very high.
There are many common complications in the postoperative period of choledochojejunostomy, such as blockage at the anastomosis site, stones in the bile duct, bile duct infection or bile fistula, etc. Of course, the patient may also have a fever after choledochojejunostomy, and in severe cases, cholangitis or jaundice may occur.
In addition, after the choledochojejunostomy, incomplete or complete intestinal ileus may occur. At the same time, there may be some changes in the digestive tract, such as diarrhea after eating some greasy food, a significant increase in the frequency of bowel movements, obvious abdominal pain and other symptoms. In severe cases, dehydration and other problems may occur.
Although the choledochojejunostomy surgery can solve the problem of bile duct obstruction, it changes the internal structure of the body, so to a large extent it is not as healthy as the original bile duct. Therefore, to a large extent, it will definitely cause some complications. The most common complication is the occurrence of reflux cholangitis. After the occurrence of this complication, it will also cause stomach pain or gastritis to a certain extent. If this complication occurs, it must be taken seriously to avoid worsening of the symptoms and causing other problems. In daily life, try to eat some foods that are easier to digest, and they also need to be lighter, and try to focus on liquid food. Of course, you also need a balanced diet.
