Indications for choledochoduodenostomy.
In summmary, at University Hospital of Jacksonville, we have performed 36 side-to-side choledochoduodenostomies over the past five years. We have repeatedly demonstrated that choledochoduodenostomy is the procedure of choice for obstructing or partially obstructing lesions of the distal or mid common bile duct, and our extensions of the original indications have not affected the morbidity or mortality as previously reported.
