    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Surgical Techniques
    • Biliary Surgery

    Background:

    • Transduodenal sphincteroplasty is a surgical procedure for biliary tract conditions.
    • Traditional methods often involve T-tube decompression and subphrenic drainage, which can lead to complications.
    • Duodenal fistula is a significant and troublesome wound complication associated with this surgery.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present a modified technique for transduodenal sphincteroplasty.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of avoiding T-tube decompression and subphrenic space drainage.
    • To assess methods for preventing duodenal fistula formation.

    Main Methods:

    • A transduodenal sphincteroplasty technique was developed and applied consecutively.
    • Routine use of T-tube decompression of the common bile duct was avoided.
    • Subphrenic space drainage was also omitted.
    • In recent cases, colonic or omental onlay of serosa was employed to reinforce the duodenal closure.

    Main Results:

    • Excellent clinical outcomes were achieved in 123 consecutive patients.
    • The incidence of duodenal fistula, a major complication, was eliminated in the most recent 68 patients.
    • The modified technique demonstrated a high success rate with improved safety.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented transduodenal sphincteroplasty technique is effective and safe.
    • Avoiding T-tube decompression and subphrenic drainage is feasible and beneficial.
    • The use of colonic or omental onlay significantly reduces the risk of duodenal fistula, improving surgical outcomes.
