[Bile-diverting anastomoses in tumorous obturation of the bile ducts]

The authors make an analysis of the operative treatment of 525 patients with cancer of the hepato-biliary and pancreatoduodenal zones. The distal, central and proximal obturations of bile ducts were found which determined the indications to formation of various bilio-digestive anastomoses. The operation of choice for distal obturation is a wide areflux cholecystogastrostomy with the use of blanket suture with the chromium-coated catgut. In the central and proximal obturation the precision suture with an atraumatic suture material and magnifying optics are recommended.
