Summary
Hepaticoduodenostomy offers a viable alternative for managing impacted distal common bile duct stones, particularly when sepsis is present. This case demonstrates a successful hepaticoduodenotomy in a low-resource setting, resolving distal biliary obstruction post-cholecystectomy.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Hepatobiliary Surgery
- Surgical Management of Biliary Tract Diseases
Background:
- Retained and impacted distal common bile duct (CBD) stones pose significant clinical challenges, often requiring surgical intervention.
- Traditional choledochoduodenostomy may be associated with complications, especially in the context of sepsis or low-resource environments.
- Distal biliary obstruction can lead to complications such as cystic duct stump dehiscence following cholecystectomy.

679
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.
