BACKGROUND: This article reports the technical aspects of @entity9834 ( @entity9834 ) in @entity1 with @entity255 ( @entity255 ) and the perioperative results are also evaluated. This is a retrospective review of a prospectively maintained database. METHODS: Twelve @entity1 diagnosed to have @entity255 with the absence of intrahepatic stricture were selected for @entity9834 during the period from 1995 to 2002. The majority of our @entity1 had repeated attacks of @entity255 and had already undergone multiple sessions of endoscopic and operative lithotripsy. The @entity9834 was performed using a five-port approach with the @entity1 lying in the supine position. The stones were first cleared through the longitudinal supraduodenal choledochotomy followed by construction of a side-to-side diamond-shaped @entity254 of at least 15 mm between the bile duct and the first part of the duodenum using 2/0 @entity23985 in the single-layer method. RESULTS: During the period from 1995 to 2002, 12 @entity1 with @entity255 underwent @entity9834 . There were 3 male and 9 female @entity1 with a mean age of 62 (40-77). The median operation time was 137.5 min (90-270) and the median postoperative stay was 7.5 days (5-20). All cases were successful using the laparoscopic approach. Average analgesic requirement post operation was 126 mg (50-200 mg) intramuscular @entity6882 . There was one postoperative @entity1157 , and this complication was settled by conservative measures. Upon a mean follow-up of 37.6 months (6-91), there was no recurrent attack of @entity255 or any evidence of @entity9834 in this group of @entity1 . CONCLUSION: @entity9834 is a safe and effective drainage procedure for @entity1 with @entity255 . Complications are uncommon and postoperative results are promising.
