The continuous hemivertical mattress suture technique for biliary-enteric anastomosis has not been well reported in the literature. We used the technique with a double-armed monofilament absorbable suture (Glycomer 631) for 32 anastomoses in 31 patients. There was one anastomotic leakage (3.1%). The mean follow-up period was 683 days, during which time no patient developed anastomotic stenosis or cholangitis. The technique provided satisfactory results with lower cost than one-layer interrupted sutures.

Article Synopsis
- Biliary-enteric anastomosis (BEA) is a surgical procedure used for issues related to bile ducts and is crucial during liver transplants, with imaging playing a vital role in identifying complications.
- Various imaging techniques like ultrasound, CT, MRI, and nuclear scintigraphy provide different insights, with ultrasound enabling quick assessments and CT offering detailed anatomy.
- Common complications from BEA include bile leaks and strictures, and effective imaging is essential for their early detection and management, ultimately leading to better patient outcomes.

Anatomical variations in hepatic arteries are both common and diverse. According to the classic classification systems, a replaced right hepatic artery typically originates from the superior mesenteric artery, supplying blood to the right liver lobe in the absence of the right branch of the proper hepatic artery. This article reports 2 cases of a rare variation, a replaced right hepatic artery arising directly from the celiac trunk.

Technique: Robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy (RPD) presents a formidable surgical challenge for patients with a prior history of bilioenteric anastomosis. However, there are no reports in the literature of robotic pancreaticoduodenectomy after open bilioenteric anastomosis. This article offers a detailed description of the surgical technique employed in performing RPD on a patient who previously underwent open Roux-en-Y biliary-enteric anastomosis, aiming to treat a duodenal tumor.

Article Synopsis
- Mirizzi syndrome is a rare complication of gallstones that occurs when they compress the common bile duct, usually requiring surgical intervention like cholecystectomy.
- A case report details a 62-year-old woman with abdominal pain who was diagnosed with Mirizzi syndrome after undergoing ERCP.
- The surgical approach taken in her case involved a subtotal cholecystectomy combined with a choledochoduodenostomy to address the condition.
