title: Choledochoduodenostomy after previous gastrectomy or duodenal operations.
abstract: Our results show choledochoduodenostomy to be safe in patients with a Billroth II duodenal stump or any previous duodenal operation with vascular interruption. These results are consistent with our use of choledochoduodenostomy as the preferred technique in all patients with residual stones, a dilated common duct or benign ampullary stenosis.
