Repair of a common bile duct defect with a decellularized ureteral graft

Figure 2 Surgical technique of common bile duct reconstruction. A: The common bile duct defect was reconstructed with a 2 cm long decellularized ureteral graft over the lower limb of the T-tube (T-tube group); B: The defect was reconstructed with a graft over an intraluminal stent (stent group); C: The defect was reconstructed with a graft alone without any T-tube or intraluminal stent insertion (stentless group).
