[Prophylaxis and treatment of reflux cholangitis]

A method of creation of choledochojejunoanastomosis (CJA) was developed experimentally on 12 dogs. The method lies in creation of valvular CJA using walls of the common bile duct and submucosous-mucosous membrane of the small intestine mobilized by Roux. According to this method 103 patients with obstructive jaundice due to lesion of distal part of common bile duct were operated. Postoperative complications were seen in 6 (5.8%) patients, 3 (2.9%) patients died. In the period from 3 months to 10 years after operation 63 patients were examined, there were no cases of reflux-esophangitis.
