  • Title: [Early and late outcome of biliodigestive anastomosis and transduodenal papillotomy in benign diseases of the bile ducts].
    Author: Braun L.
    Journal: Zentralbl Chir; 1998; 123 Suppl 2():92-5. PubMed ID: 9622879.
    Abstract:
    The results of a prospective study of 188 choledochoduodenostomies, 51 choledocho-jejunostomies, and 114 transduodenal papillotomies in patients with benign diseases are presented. The operations were performed between 1974 and 1997. The status of the patients was checked every one to two years. During the same time period a total of 5128 patients with benign disorders of the gall bladder or biliary tract was operated upon. In consequence to the important progress of endoscopic diagnostic and therapeutic options indications and methods of biliary surgery have changed significantly. Open procedures at the choledochal duct, biliodigestive anastomoses, and transduodenal papillotomies are recently performed only in rare instances.
