title: Endoscopic choledochoduodenostomy for common bileduct obstructions.
abstract: Endoscopic choledochoduodenostomy (E.C.D.S.) was done in six patients with common bileduct obstructions. After E.C.D.S., jaundice disappeared and the patient's general condition improved. There were no complications. E.C.D.S. may be a suitable alternative to conventional surgery in patients with common bileduct obstructions.
