摘要
Choledochoduodenostomy (CD) has been performed for hepatolithiasis in the past.
However, it is rarely performed recenthy because of the frequenthy postoperative
infection. We present a 65-year-old male who developed repeated ascending cholangitis
and liver abscess after CD. Surgical conversion to Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy
relieved the infection. We suggest that CD should be avoided in hepatolithiasis.
If complications develop after CD, early surgical conversion is recommended.
