The hepaticojejunostomy is made with a single layer of interrupted closely placed 3-0 or 4-0 absorbable sutures and is placed several centimeters distal to the pancreaticojejunostomy. It is preferable that all duct sutures be placed first and carefully arranged to avoid entanglement. The posterior row is then sewn and tied prior to sewing the anterior row.
