Abstract

Bilio-biliary anastomosis (BBA) is a critical surgical procedure that is performed with the objective of restoring bile duct continuity. This procedure is often required in cases where there has been an injury to the extrahepatic bile ducts or during liver transplantation. Despite advances in surgical techniques, the healing of BBA remains a significant challenge, with complications such as stricture formation and leakage affecting patient outcomes. The stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a heterogeneous cell population derived from adipose tissue, has demonstrated promise in regenerative medicine due to its rich content of stem cells, endothelial progenitor cells, and growth factors. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of locally administered autologous SVF to enhance the healing of BBAs. Bilio-biliary anastomosis was performed on a swine model (female Landrace pigs). Six swine were divided into two groups: the treatment group ( = 3) received a local application of autologous SVF around the anastomosis site immediately following BBA formation, while the control group ( = 3) received saline. The primary outcomes were assessed over an eight-week period post-surgery, and included anastomosis healing, stricture formation, and bile leakage. Histological analysis was performed to evaluate fibrosis, angiogenesis, and inflammation. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to assess healing-related markers (CD34, α-SMA) and the immunological microenvironment (CD3, CD10, tryptase). The SVF-treated group exhibited significantly enhanced healing of the BBA. Histological examination revealed increased angiogenesis and reduced fibrosis in the SVF group. Immunohistochemical staining demonstrated higher vascular density in the anastomosed area of the SVF-treated group (390 vs. 210 vessels per 1 mm, = 0.0027), as well as a decrease in wall thickness (1.9 vs. 1.0 mm, = 0.0014). There were no statistically significant differences in mast cell presence ( = 0.40). Immunohistochemical staining confirmed the overexpression of markers associated with tissue repair. Local injections of autologous SVF at the site of BBA have been demonstrated to significantly enhance healing and promote tissue regeneration. These findings suggest that SVF could be a valuable adjunctive therapy in BBA surgery, potentially improving surgical outcomes. However, further investigation is needed to explore the clinical applicability and long-term benefits of this novel approach in clinical practice as a minimally manipulated cell application.
