[Reintervention after choledocho-duodenostomy].

Shrinkage of the anastomosis and blind loop syndrome with impacted stones or sludge in the retroduodenal common bile duct caused by papillary stenosis are the main reasons for an ineffective choledochoduodenostomy. The clinical picture is that of an ascending cholangitis. 30 choledochoduodenostomy repairs were performed in our hospital. The operative treatment is described in detail. In a follow-up of 30 patients there was only one case with a persisting chronic cholangitis.
