The article presents the results of laparoscopic choledoch-duodenostomy (CDS) applied to 23 patients with benign strictures of distal part of common bile duct (CBD). 21 patients had cholelithiasis in combination with the CBD stricture. The rest 2 patients had acalculous postcholecystectomy stricture. The laparoscopic CDS was executed by 5 trocars: 4 were placed in standard cholecystectomy positions and the 5th was placed by the right pararectal line at the umbilicus level and was used for traction of duodenum and continuous aspiration. 2 sm long side-to-side CDS was performed with interrupted sutures. The mean operative time was 128±36 (90-205) min. There was no conversion. The mean hospital stay was 4.5 (3-9) days. There was no mortality. 2 patients developed an anastomosis bile leakage: one received the relaparoscopy and T-draining of the CDS, in another patient the leakage seased spontaneously. 82.7% of patients showed excellent and good long term results. 3 patients reported bad outcome and very bad result was registered in 1 patient. In conclusion, the laparoscopic CDS gives good outcomes in experienced hands and could be considered as an alternative to endoscopic sphincterotomy in patients with distal CBD stenosis.
