Reimplantation of the ampulla of Vater.
Injury to the common bile duct and the pancreatic duct during duodenal ulcer or tumor surgery is exceedingly rare. In the past 50 years, only eight case reports have dealt with reimplantation of the ampulla of Vater. Reimplantation sites have included the stomach, duodenum, and jejunum. Herein we described a new technique that uses the gallbladder for reimplantation of the ampulla of Vater.
