title: [Lithiasis of the common bile duct and transduodenal papillosphincterotomy. Analysis of our cases].
abstract: The results obtained from 1978 to 1987 with the use of transduodenal papillosphincterotomy in bile duct lithiasis are reported. The operation was performed on 126 patients and produced 4.7% immediate mortality. The indications and the most frequent post-operative complications were studied. Routine intra-operative cholangiography had been carried out. The long-term results were very good in 86% of the cases, average in 13% and poor in 1%. Provided one limits its indications to cases when it is really necessary, papillosphincterotomy does not involve a higher risk than other biliary operations.
