Of 7000 patients operated on biliary ducts in 622 the recovering and reconstructive interventions were conducted. Late follow-up result was studied in 313 (51%) patients. Good result was noted in 179 (57.7%) patients, fair--in 99 (32.2%), poor--in 35 (10.1%) in terms from 3 months till 17 years. In patients operated on for the "forgotten" biliary ducts concrements, frequently combined with stenosis of common biliary duct terminal portion, most frequently good and fair result was noted. Late follow-up result of reconstructive operations using external transhepatic carcass drainage was significantly better than after application of other methods of correction for high stricture and injury of biliary ducts.
