Reviewer comments to author
This paper described about benign hepaticojejunostomy strictures after
pancreatoduodenectomy. This well-written manuscript is mildly interesting that male and non-
dilated bile duct are risk for postoperative anastomotic stricture; however, these are known
factors and luck of novelty. Moreover, this study is a retrospective study from single center,
therefore, it’s still uncertain whether these factors could be risk factors for anastomotic stricture.
Some of the other major limitations include:
Major revision
# You described that preoperative bile duct diameter of 8.8 mm or less was risk factor for
anastomotic stricture. How many patients with this criteria suffered from anastomotic stricture?
# In the patients with small bile duct, what is the risk factor for anastomotic stricture? For
example, patients with non bile duct cancer?
# In BHS group, only one patient had bile duct cancer. Please describe the detail of this patient.
Is this patient had preoperative small bile duct?
I hope these comments will be helpful.
