Choledochojejunostomy is a surgical procedure where the common bile duct is connected directly to the jejunum, a part of the small intestine. This surgery is often performed when the bile duct is obstructed or damaged, either due to disease, injury, or cancer.

The procedure involves creating an anastomosis between the bile duct and the jejunum, allowing bile to flow into the intestines, bypassing any obstructions. This surgery may be necessary when other methods, like bile duct stenting, are not feasible or effective.

Postoperative care includes monitoring for signs of infection, bile leakage, or complications related to digestion. Nutritional support may be necessary initially, especially if digestion is impaired.

Choledochojejunostomy provides a long-term solution for bile duct obstructions, ensuring that bile flows freely into the intestines and preventing symptoms like jaundice and indigestion.
