[Clinical results of transduodenal sphincteroplasty and choledochoduodenostomy in acute cholecystitis].

In acute cholecystitis of the 460 patients, in 126, besides the cholecystectomy, the transduodenal sphincteroplasty (79) and supraduodenal choledochoduodenostomy (47) were performed. The postoperative lethality was 6.3 and 4.2%, respectively, mean duration of treatment of the patients at the hospital after the operation - 18.5 and 23.5 days. The excellent and good long-term results were noted in 78 and 73% of the patients examined. A conclusion is drawn, that sphincteroplasty and choledochoduodenostomy in complicated acute cholecystitis is more preferable, than choledochotomy and external drainage of the common bile duct.
