Title: [Reoperation on the bile ducts (author's transl)]. Author: Serý Z, Duda M, Král V, Manák P. Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1977; 102(14):851-7. PubMed ID: 906694. Abstract: The total of 5560 operations on the gall bladder and bile ducts had been performed from 1951 to 1975, the mortality rate being 1.2% of all operated cases. There were 659 papillosphineterotomies, 82% of these were indicated for choledocholiathiasis associated with papillary changes, the remaining 18% for stenosis of the Vaterian system. 29 patients, i.e. 4.4% died following papillosphincterotomy. The total of 21 patients were reoperated on soon after the first intervention, 17 of them for inflammatory complications with four deaths, 4 for haemorrhage without any death. One of the patients died from a bleeding duodenal ulcer, 3 from postoperative pancreatitis. The last four patients were not reoperated. Later reoperations up to 7 years were performed in 24 cases. The other part of the paper presents an analysis of 35 patients reoperated on for iatrogenic postoperative strictures of the bile ducts mostly due to an injury induced during cholecystectomy or gastric resection.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
