Clinical analysis of juxtapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula: report of 47 cases / 中国普通外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the diagnosis and surgical management of juxtapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula and to evaluate endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) in the diagnosis of juxtapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula. Methods A retrospective clinical analysis was made in reference to the diagnosis and operative intervention for a total of 47 cases of juxtapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula.Results Forty seven fistula cases were diagnosed among 3*!800 patients undergoing ERCP. Thirty four cases were complicated with cholelithiasis and 19 bile duct pneumatosis. Thirty eight patients were operated on including choledocholithotomy in 7 cases and hepatojejunostomy in 31 cases, in which hilar choledochoplasty was added in 4 cases, and 5 cases underwent concomitant hepatic segmentectomy. Conclusion ERCP is the most valuable method in diagnosing and guiding surgical management in juxtapapillary choledochoduodenal fistula.
