Interrupted and continuous suturing techniques for Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy or duct-to-duct choledochocholedochostomy seem to have comparable clinical outcomes. The available evidence may be subject to confounding by indication with respect to diameter of bile duct. Future high-quality research is encouraged to report the outcomes with respect to duct diameter and suture material.
