[Papillo-sphinctero-plasty in benign obstruction of the terminal choledochus].

The indications for papillosphincteroplasty in benign obstruction of the terminal choledochus are explained. This technique is certainly preferable to drainage via a T tube--a method no longer applied in a personal series. Lastly, it is stated that the primary transduodenal approach is better than that via choledochotomy. Excellent results were obtained in 62% of cases, good results in 31%, and poor results due to recurrent cholangitis in 3%. Acute pancreatitis is the most dangerous complication, but was very rarely observed.
