A technique for transduodenal sphincteroplasty is presented. T-tube decompression of the common bile duct and subphrenic space drainage are routinely avoided. To date, results in 123 consecutive patients have been excellent. The single most troublesome wound complication, duodenal fistula, had been avoided in the most recent 68 patients by colonic or omental onlay of serosa.
