The article discusses the results of choledochoduodenostomy formed with the C[symbol; see text]-20 suturing instrument in 51 patients by a method developed by the authors. The late-term results were studied in 46 patients in follow-up periods of 3 months to 2 years. In the group of 46 patients who were examined 45 had no complaints, they returned to their previous occupation, and stopped adhering to the diet 3-6 months after the operation. One patient noted significant improvement of his condition but nonetheless complained of aching pain experienced from time to time in the epigastrium, a bitter taste in the mouth, and sometimes nausea, which was associated with chronic pancreatitis. Immediate and late-term complications directly connected with formation of the anastomosis with a mechanical suture (C[symbol; see text]-20 instrument) as well as fatal outcomes were not encountered.
