Abstract

Experimental studies and clinical observations are referred to in stressing the frequent correlation between duodenal, biliary and pancreatic disturbances, and the importance of the role of spontaneous or iatrogenic impairment of Oddi's sphincter in the origin of this pathology. These physiopathological concepts are regarded as fundamental in the correct surgical management of cholelithiasis. A pre- and postoperative diagnostic protocol designed to investigate the anatomofunctional aspects of the duodenum and pancreas as well as bile duct morphology and Oddi sphincter function is described. Its employment enabled 633 cases to be divided six well-defined groups for diversified treatment.
