What is choledocoduodenostomy?

Answer 1

This procedure is done if there is an impacted stone in the common bile duct. The bile duct is anastomosed to the duodenum to ensure drainage of bile.

Answer 2

Choledocoduodenostomy is a surgical procedure that involves creating an opening between the common bile duct and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine) to bypass an obstruction or stricture in the bile duct. This procedure allows bile to flow directly into the intestine, bypassing the obstruction and preventing bile backup in the liver.
