Choledochojejunostomy is preferred method for bilio-pancreatic malignancy8,13 because majority of cases are not curable and present with obstructive jaundice6 thus most commonly performed method is cholecystojejunostomy for irresectable pancreatic carcinoma14 along with routine gastrojejunostomy.15 In this study different variants of choledochojejunostomy in the form of side to side choledochojejunostomy (6.02%), side to side choledochojejunostomy with enter-enterostomy (6.02%) and Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy (12.05%) were performed mainly for benign conditions such as biliary strictures, biliary obstruction of unknown aetiology and biliary injuries.
