Abstract
We experienced a case of postoperative cholangitis due to intraductal stasis of meals after end to side choledochoduodenostomy. The patient was a 69-year-old female who had undergone cholecystectomy and choledocholithotomy respectively. Thirdly, the patient underwent end to side choledochoduodenostomy for the recurrence of choledocholithiasis. And four weeks after the opcration, intermittcnt high fbver over 38°Cappeared without any symptoms. Abdominal CT and endoscopic study revealed the stasis of meals in the bile ducts beyond the choledochoduodenoanastomosis. The intraductal meals were removed endoscopically and her fever was disappeared. This case proved the risks of the reflux and stasis of meals beyond anastomosis in choledochoduodenostomy.
