    Abstract:
    The number of cases in bile duct surgery has continuously increased since second world war. Correcting operation is necessary in 5 to 7% after cholecystectomy. Since 1973 more and more the endoscopic treatment takes place of surgery. Typical complications can be divided into two groups belonging to their manifestation. Early complications are due to an insufficient intraoperative diagnosis or injuries of bile tract. Late complications comprehend successive development of duct stenosis and cholangitis. The therapeutic possibilities of endoscopic papillotomy are directed only to the papilla and near-by sections of the choledochus, while surgical treatment is due to the more difficult performance of iatrogenic lesions. The indications to each method are shown and discussed by 138 surgical and 714 endoscopic treatments.
