Abstract
Choledochoduodenostomy was first performed by Riedel in 1888 for an impacted common bile duct stone. The main principle of the procedure is that a side-to-side anastomosis is designed to allow free flow of bile from the common bile duct to the duodenum. It offers some advantages over choledochojejunostomy:
-
A more physiologic conduit
-
Relatively quick and simple, with fewer anastomotic sites
-
Ease of access for future endoscopic interventions
