[Precision sutures of bile ducts in experimental cholangitis]

Experimental study of the use of the precision suture techniques in application to the hepaticocholedochus and in formation of biliodigestive anastomoses in cholangitis revealed the advantages of the precision suture over the "traditional" one. The precision suture is very strong and air-tight, provides adequate adaptation of the coats of the hepaticocholedochus and the small intestine and creates thus optimum conditions for healing; when used in combination with absorbable suture material it excludes the formation of ligature cholelithiasis and reduces the risk of cicatricial stenosis.
