Abstract
Evaluation of various methods of biliary enteric anastomosis in benign biliary diseases (BBD). A surgeon operating for BBD needs to improve the internal drainage of bile to prevent stasis and its back-pressure effects. This is best obtained by biliary enteric anastomosis. A total of 121 cases of biliary enteric anastomosis in BBD were included in this study. The postoperative course and long-term outcome were studied prospectively. In the choledochoduodenostomy group, there were no leaks, no restrictures, and no mortality. Five (10.41 %) patients had cholangitis attacks and 2 (4.17 %) patients had sump syndrome. The choledochojejunostomy group had no leaks, no restrictures. Two (7.14 %) patients had repeated cholangitis and 2 (7.14 %) patients had sump syndrome, no mortality. The hepaticojejunostomy group had 3 cases of anastomotic leak of which 2 healed spontaneously and 1 needed resurgery. There was restricture in 2 cases, in which resurgery was successful-one death, no cholangiocarcinoma. Biliary enteric anastomosis is a safe and effective method for the management of BBD. The method should be selected according to the disease pathology and patient characteristics.

Abstract
AIM To determine the long-term results of choledochodudenostomy in patients with benign billiary obstruction. METHODS This prospective study was conducted at Sheri Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences Srinagar Kashmir, India over a period of 10 years from January 1997 to December 2007. The total number of patients who underwent choledochoduodenostomy during this period was 270. On the basis of etiology of biliary tract obstruction, patients were divided into a calculus group, an oriental cholangiohepatitis group, a benign biliary stricture group and others. Patients were followed for a variable period of 13 mo to 15 years. RESULTS Choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) with duo-denotomy was performend in four patients. CDD with removal of T- tube, CDD with left hepatic lobectomy and CDD with removal of intra biliary ruptured hydatid was performed in three patients each. In the remaining patients only CDD was performed. Immediate post operative complications were seen in 63 (23%) patients, while long-term complications were seen in 28 (11%) patients, which were statistically significant. Three patients died during hospitalization while four patients died in the late post-operative period. CONCLUSION Our conclusion is that CDD is safe and produces good long term results when a permanent biliary drainage procedure is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND With the advent of interventional endoscopic procedures and with growing experience of laparoscopic surgery, the indications for open biliary procedures have become limited. This prospective study reviews the indications of open choledochoduodenostomy for benign biliary diseases and presents the short-term and long-term outcomes of this procedure in the present minimally invasive surgical era. METHODS Side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy was carried out for various benign obstructive pathologies of the biliary tract. The various parameters recorded were the demographic data, indications for surgery, early and late complications and the long-term outcome of the procedure. RESULTS Results of choledochoduodenostomy on 54 consecutive patients over a 9-year period are presented. The mean age was 49.7 years with a male to female ratio of 1:2.6. Thirty (55.5%) patients presented with obstructive jaundice and 42.6% had cholangitis. Overall hospital morbidity was 13% with zero mortality. After a mean follow up of 7.8 years, 96.3% patients had 'good' or 'fair' and 3.7% experienced 'poor' results. No recurrent disease or biliary malignancy was observed. CONCLUSION Open biliary drainage procedures may still be indicated in select patients where the facility or expertise for minimally invasive biliary procedures is not available. Choledochoduodenostomy remains an effective biliary drainage procedure with acceptable morbidity and mortality, especially in the high-risk and elderly population. The procedure should be regarded as an essential in the general surgical knowledge and training.

Abstract
To investigate the long-term effectiveness of choledochoduodenostomy (CDD), the experience with 71 patients followed for 5 or more years after CDD was analyzed retrospectively. From 1968 to 1984, 134 patients underwent CDD. Eight patients (6%) died in the immediate postoperative period, 55 left the hospital, 8 of them were lost to follow-up, and 47 were followed but died before 5 years elapsed after CDD. The remaining 71 patients form the data base for this analysis: 38 were followed for more than 5 years, 25 were followed for more than 10 years, and 8 were followed for more than 15 years (mean 12.1 years +/- 1.3 SEM). Choledocholithiasis, chronic pancreatitis, and postoperative stricture were the indications for CDD. Cholangitis was observed in only three patients. The diameter of the common bile duct (CBD) was large in most patients (mean 18 mm +/- 0.9 SEM). These results infer that CDD is effective to treat non-neoplastic obstructing lesions of the distal CBD on a long-term basis and that the presence of a dilated CBD (more than 16 mm) that allows the construction of a CDD more than 14 mm is essential to obtain good results.

Abstract
One hundred and sixty-four patients operated on for calculus disease of the common bile duct during the period 1977-85 were followed in a special clinic; the attendance for follow-up at 1, 3, 5 and 7 years was 90, 74, 60 and 54 per cent respectively. Eleven patients died during the study period (6.7 per cent), none of the deaths being attributable to biliary tract disease. The overall incidence of retained calculus was 2.4 per cent (four patients), but no cases of retained calculi were recorded in the last 4 years of the study; in this period, with the advent of choledochoscopy and fluoroscopic cholangiography, the incidence of the supraduodenal compared with the transduodenal approach to the common bile duct increased significantly (P less than 0.001). Twenty-two of 56 patients (39 per cent) followed up for 5 years remained or became symptomatic after surgery, the majority of whom had underlying conditions unrelated to disease of the biliary or pancreatic tree. This specific follow-up clinic has been of value in the long-term audit of patients undergoing bile duct surgery for choledocholithiasis and it has verified that a change of policy from transduodenal to supraduodenal choledochotomy with preservation of the sphincter, and use of the choledochoscope and fluorocholangiography, produce better results.

Abstract
Upper abdominal symptoms after side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy (CDDY) may be attributed to stagnant bile, food and calculi pooling in the distal bile duct 'sump' with resultant biliary or pancreatic duct obstruction and sepsis. Endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES) provides a means of draining this sump. The aim of this study was to assess outcome following endoscopic retrograde choledochopancreatography (ERCP) and ES in patients with post-CDDY symptoms. Eight such patients (M: F = 1:7) underwent ERCP between September 1981 and March 1987. Their median age was 60 years (range: 37-72 years) and the median period since CDDY was 11 years (range: 1-28 years). The median follow-up after ERCP was 18 months (range: 14-94 months). Presenting symptoms comprised postprandial (one) or intermittent (seven) abdominal pain, cholangitis (three), pancreatitis (one) and jaundice (one). ERCP revealed bile duct abnormalities in four, consisting of filling defects alone (two), anastomotic narrowing with filling defects (one) and sclerosing cholangitis. ES was performed in seven, of whom three (all with filling defects at ERCP) remain asymptomatic and three are significantly improved. One had recurrent pancreatitis for which a sphincteroplasty and pancreatic duct septectomy was performed. ES was not performed in one because of technical difficulties (there being no subsequent improvement). It is concluded that, in patients with post-CDDY biliary symptoms, endoscopic sphincterotomy relieves the symptoms by either producing drainage of the sump at the distal bile duct, or dividing a dysfunctioning sphincter of Oddi.

Abstract
The clinical features of eight patients with 'sump syndrome' following side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy are reported. The syndrome is defined and its aetiology discussed with special reference to debris in the common bile duct, bacterial overgrowth and the clinical picture of acute cholangitis, which does not appear to be necessary for the diagnosis to be made. Five patients were successfully treated by endoscopic sphincterotomy and a sixth by endoscopic removal of food debris from the sump. The other two patients had further surgery.

Abstract
The morbidity and mortality following exploration of the common duct for benign conditions has been analysed retrospectively in 413 patients from the Royal Adelaide Hospital. Follow up ranged from one to 110 months (median 47 months). The major complication rates in patients having biliary "drainage procedures" (choledochoduodenostomy (56 patients), sphincterotomy or sphincteroplasty (65 patients) compared favourably with those having choledochotomy with T-tube insertion alone (307 patients). This was despite a greater incidence of potentially adverse factors in the former group. Problems related to retained or recurrent stones were effectively reduced by drainage procedures which were performed safely in the presence of acute inflammation. Symptomatic cholangitis was not more frequent after drainage procedures.

Abstract
The papilla of Vater is subject to a variety of abnormalities that include congenital anomalies, inflammation, neoplasms, fibrosis, and motor dysfunction. Some of these lesions are clinically obvious (such as cancer or an impacted gallstone) and require aggressive therapy in order to provide relief from pain or biliary-pancreatic ductal obstruction. Other lesions, such as stenosing papillitis, are more subtle and provide few clues to their existence except recurrent episodes of abdominal pain. I have focused my discussion on the relative indications for sphincteroplasty and choledochoduodenostomy in the management of benign lesions of the papilla, especially those related to gallstone disease. I prefer a choledochoduodenostomy for the management of recurrent common duct stones when the bile duct is enlarged (greater than 2 cm) and thick-walled. The opening should be at least 2 cm in length when the anastomosis is completed. I employ a long anterior sphincteroplasty (greater than 2 cm) with a transampullary septectomy when treating inflammatory or fibrosing lesions of the papilla of Vater which are associated with recurrent episodes of severe, chronic (more than 1 year) abdominal pain. There is currently no standardized way to diagnose these latter conditions, therefore, the approach is empirical, and should be used sparingly and with a high degree of caution.

Abstract
An experience with 69 patients who underwent 72 common bile duct reoperations for retained or recurrent choledocholithiasis is presented. The mean age of the patients was 57 years, and 35 patients had associated conditions. In this series six patients (8.3%) had minor complications and no patient developed major complications or died. Two (2.9%) patients developed recurrent choledocholithiasis. In recent years, nonoperative removal of retained stones through a T-tube by mechanical extraction or chemical dissolution, and removal of retained or recurrent stones by endoscopic sphincterotomy has gained widespread popularity. Retained or recurrent choledocholithiasis should be managed on an individual basis. Reoperation has a good success rate, low morbidity and mortality rates. It should be considered as the treatment of choice in low risk patients, in whom a retained stone cannot be mechanically extracted through a T-tube, and in patients with recurrent choledocholithiasis diagnosed after removal of the T-tube.

Abstract
During the 15 year period 1965 through 1979, sixty patients underwent choledochoduodenostomy for benign obstructive lesions of the biliary tract. Patients with traumatic and iatrogenic common duct strictures were excluded. Eighty-two percent of the patients were in the seventh to ninth decades of life. Twenty-seven patients (45 percent) had undergone a total of 40 previous biliary tract surgical interventions. Thirty-three patients (55 percent) in the older age group (average age 75 years) were subjected to choledochoduodenostomy as a primary procedure during the first surgical intervention on the biliary system. Cholangitis recurred in only one patient (in whom the sump syndrome was the culprit), while all other patients have been free of abdominal complaints, cholangitis and pancreatitis during follow-up of 1 to 15 years. There was no operative mortality; morbidity was 26 percent. Hospital stay averaged 15 days. These favorable results mark choledochoduodenostomy as a safe, simple and effective procedure in the treatment of benign biliary tract disease, particularly in aged and high risk patients.

Abstract
Fiberscopic examination was carried out to investigate the condition of the stoma and bile duct and to assess the postoperative effects of the procedure on the upper gastrointestinal tract in 15 patients who received external side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy. The stoma remained patent, with a round or oval shape, in all 15 patients. Residual sutures were found at the stoma in 4 of 15 patients, 3 of whom had inflamed stomal mucosa. Food debris was found in the blind segment in four of seven patients. but all 4 had large stomas. In three patients food debris was floating and easily discharged through a stoma. In the other patient much food debris had accumulated and was firmly attached to the mucosal surface. Gastroduodenal lesions were noted in 9 of 15 patients: redness at the antrum in 3, multiple erosions at the antrum in 2, gastric ulcer in 1, redness at the bulbus in 1 and duodenal ulcer in 2. Bile reflux into the stomach was found in 9 of 15 patients, 5 of whom had gastric lesions, and duodenal mucosa was constantly exposed to bile in all 15 patients.

Abstract
The results of combined supraduodenal and transduodenal exploration of the common bile duct in 42 selected cases are presented. The indications for this operation were: the presence of multiple calculi in the common bile duct; stones impacted in the ampullary region; residual stones in the common bile duct following previous surgery on the biliary tract; stricture at the papilla and pancreatitis associated with cholelithiasis. After the procedure no patient had residual stones in the common bile duct. Serious complications were infrequent; there were no postoperative deaths and post-operative pancreatitis occurred in only one patient.

Abstract
Both sphincteroplasty and choledochoduodenostomy are valuable for choledocholithiasis, stenosis of the terminal bile duct, and occasional cases of pancreatitis. Selection of patients, technical details, and advantages and limitations of both operative procedures are presented. In a personal series of 600 benign biliary operations 73 patients had a sphincteroplasty or choledochoduodenostomy. Sixty of these had a sphincteroplasty without operative mortality, serious complication, or recurrence of biliary problems although 5 still have pain. A positive morphine-prostigmine test was a prime indication for surgery in these 5 patients. The evocative tests are now negative. Thirteen patients had a choledochonduodenostomy without mortality or significant complication. Twelve are symptom free but one has a "sump syndrome." Sphincteroplasty has been preferred because it gives dependent drainage, direct inspection of the ampullary area, and facilitates removal of impacted stones and debris. It is not always applicable and choledochoduodenostomy has been chosen in elderly poor risk patients or in those with pancreatic inflammation or periampullary duodenal diverticula. Both operations have specific advantages and limitations such that the surgeon should not use one to the exclusion of the other.
