title: [Treatment of recurrent or residual calculosis of the choledochus. A comparison of the technics].
abstract: The results of treating residual or recurrent calculosis of the choledochus for the purpose of obtaining elements for deciding whether or not to carry out a given operation in a particular group of patients are reported. Although they do not offer elements of certainty, the results still make it possible to arrive at an indication for endoscopic papillotomy in elderly patients in poor general condition with one or a few calculi and non-dilated choledochus, for choledochotomy in patients with choledochus of normal diameter and with multiple calculi, or for an intervention of biliodigestive drainage (particularly choledochojejunostomy) in patients with multiple calculosis and with dilated choledochus. In cases in which the apparatus of Oddi is the site of an irreversible inflammatory process and has lost its function, transduodenal papillosphincterotomy is justified.
