[Surgical intraduodenal drainage of bile duct: an introductory report].
Reconstructing operations, performed on extrahepatic bile ducts, usually need protection of anastomosis by means of drainage. Classic Kehr's drainage is loaded with the risk of complications. Since 1993 the authors have been applying the alter way of drainage: an intraduodenal drainage by endoprothesis Y (DEY). Endoscopical removal of the drain was performed in 3-4 months after the operation. This way of drainage was used between III 1993--V 1997 in 23 patients. We did not observed any complications or pancreas reactions. Clinical control of patients was made after operation with ECW. In 4 cases the results of treatment were unsuccessful. In other 16 patients results of performed operations were favourable.


CONCLUSIONS
Proposed way of protection of bile duct's reconstruction's site using DEY decreases the number of complications connected with classic Kehr's drainage.
