[Surgical treatment of complicated periampullar diverticulosis of the duodenum]

On the basis of the experience with the treatment of complicated periampular diverticulum of the duodenum in 12 patients the authors recommend to perform diverticulectomy in combination with transduodenal papillosphincteroplasty, wirsungduodenoplasty and septectomy, which allows reliable suturing of the cervix of the diverticulum ablated and eliminates narrowing of the terminal portions of the common bile duct and Wirsung's duct. The long-term results (from 1 to 3 years) were good.
