Technic for performing biliodigestive anastomoses in cancer of the pancreas and periampullar region

Description
Summary:	Palliative treatment was employed in 183 patients with cancer of the pancreas and periampullary zone. In most of them the decompression of bile passages was accomplished by means of cholecystogastroanastomosis. The authors have modified the routinely used technic of cholecystogastrostomy. The latter procedure was supplemented by external draining of bile passages by means of a controlled transnasal drainage tube. The technic concerned seems to be recommended for constructing biliodigestive anastomoses in cancer of this region due to relative satisfactory indices of the postoperative mortality (15+/-6%).
