Abstract

From a consecutive series of 190 patients with choledochoduodenostomy (CDD) and 56 patients with transduodenal sphincteroplasty (TDS), there were 10 and 3 hospital deaths respectively. A long term follow-up study was performed on the remainder. Late deaths occurred in 35 CDD and 5 TDS patients. Serious long term complications occurred in 3.3% of CDD cases, comprising 5 cases of 'sump syndrome' and a further case of cholangitis in the presence of a clear biliary tree. Cholangitis occurred in 2 of the TDS patients (3.8%). Recurrent common duct stones were found in 3 of the 'sump syndrome' cases (1.6%) and one of the TDS patients with cholangitis (1.9%). Eighty-eight per cent of the CDD patients and 90.2% of the TDS patients, who were reviewed, were subjectively well. Serum alkaline phosphatase was raised in 21.6% of the CDD patients and only 3.4% of the TDS group (P less than 0.05). Radiological studies showed that the CDD stoma admitted air and barium more often than the TDS stoma (P less than 0.001). Neither the biochemical nor the radiological findings correlated with the long term symptomatic results of the two procedures. Dynamic HIDA scans showed a shorter time to peak activity in the common hepatic duct for both CDD (P less than 0.01) and TDS (P less than 0.05) as compared with endoscopic sphincterotomy (ES). These long-term clinical, biochemical and radiological results are similar to those reported following ES.
