An evaluation of surgical treatment for juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula combined with biliopancreatic diseases / 中国微创外科杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the long-term effect of different surgical procedures for juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula accompanying biliopancreatic diseases. Methods The study included 86 cases of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula accompanying biliopancreatic diseases treated with different operations from April 1982 to October 2001.The 5-year incidence of postoperative cholangitis was retrospectively analyzed using the life table method. Results There were 45 cases of treatment of biliopancreatic diseases without management of the diverticula,9 cases of Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostomy,11 cases of subtotal gastrectomy with gastrojejunostomy(Billroth Ⅱ),and 13 cases of sphincteroplasty,with their incidences of cholangitis in 5 years being 52.0%,40.0%,75.0%,and 66.7%,respectively. Other procedures were carried out in 8 cases.There was no statistically significant difference in incidences of cholangitis in 5 years among these procedures(?~2=1.49,P=0.8287). Conclusions Management of juxtapapillary duodenal diverticula is not required in patients without the stenosis of the papilla.If postoperative cholangitis cannot be explained with biliary diseases,surgical procedures should be performed depending on the patient's individual condition and the surgeon's experience.The incidences of cholangitis in 5 years among these procedures are not significantly different.
