Late results of supraduodenal choledochoduodenostomy in the light of clinico-rentgenological and clinico-endoscopic findings

Abstract:  The authors discuss remote results of choledochoduodenosto my in 105 patients examined clinically, rentgenologically and endoscopically for 1--7 years. Good and excellent remote results were obtained in 87,6% of patients. Poor and staisfactory results were shown by patients with stenosis of anastomosis and recurrent pancreatitis. One of the causes of jondice and cholangitis is an obstruction of the ducts with food masses in patients with anastomosis of less than 0,5 cm size, believed by the authors to be critical.
