21 cases of decholedochoduodenostomy are reported. The reinterventions were necessary because of narrowing of the anastomosis, choledocholithiasis, developement of a blind-sack in the retroduodenal choledochal duct and because of intolerance of the duodenal-biliary reflux. In one case a broncho-biliary fistula was treated. In all cases an ascending cholangitis was observed. The indication for relaparotomy is decided on the basis of the anamnesis. The operative technique for decholedochoduodenostomy is described.
