Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Zollinger’s Atlas of Surgical Operations, 11e AB - Choledochoduodenostomy is indicated for the treatment of primary common bile duct stones with a dilated common bile duct as well as benign strictures of the distal bile duct. It is favored by many surgeons in place of the transduodenal approach for stones impacted in the ampulla. The procedure should not be considered for a nondilated common duct, recurrent pancreatitis, sclerosing cholangitis, and common bile duct stone amenable to endoscopic removal. The procedure of choledochoduodenostomy in properly selected patients may be far safer, with more satisfactory long-term results, than those of more complicated procedures.
