Research progress of diagnosis and management of choledochoduodenal fistula / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

The common bile duct duodenal fistula (CDF) is a special type of biliary fistula.It has a low incidence and clinical manifestations.It is difficult to diagnose and is often misdiagnosed.However,the lack of diagnostic tools and clinical guidelines make it difficult for young physicians to correctly recognize this rare condition before surgery.Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the most effective method for diagnosing CDF.For those who suspect CDF,ERCP should be used for definitive diagnosis.Surgical treatment is the main treatment for CDF.This article reviews the causes,clinical manifestations,diagnosis and treatment of CDF.
