In recent years, in order to noninvasive treatment methods, endoscopic treatment for primary and recurrent choledocholithiasis are becoming popular. This study evaluated short and long term outcomes of end-to-side choledochoduodenostomy for primary and recurrent choledocholithiasis. Thirty patients (18 men) with primary and recurrent choledocholithiasis who underwent end-to-side choledochoduodenostomy between 2002 and 2013 were examined retrospectively at our center and associated hospitals. Short and long term outcomes were analysed for these patients. Average postoperative hospital days were 16.3 days and short term complications were 20% of wound infection, 3.3% of each liver disorder, depression, and delirium. Mortality was 0% of these patients and morbidity was 23.3%. After operation, average follow-up period was 54.9 months. Long term complications were 13.3% of cholangitis, 3.3% of each liver abscess and liver disorder, however we had been no recurrent lithiasis. The end-to-side choledochoduodenostomy for primary and recurrent choledocholithiasis was feasible.
