Biliary tract complications are often referred to as the "Achilles' heel" of liver transplantation and various techniques have been developed to overcome them. The two major methods of bile duct reconstruction currently in use consist of either (1) choledochocholedochostomy over a T-tube or, when duct-to-duct approximation is not feasible, choledochojejunostomy over an internal stent, or (2) interposition of the donor gallbladder as a conduit between the donor bile duct and either the recipient bile duct or a jejunal loop. Although these standardizations of biliary tract reconstruction have resulted in a reduction of biliary complications after liver transplantation, further advancement in the elucidation of ampullary obstruction and viability of the donor bile duct is needed.
