What is Choledocho-Duodenostomy?
Choledocho-Duodenostomy is a type of biliary-enteric diversion procedure that creates a direct opening between the common bile duct (CBD) and the duodenum, the first part of the small intestine. This bile duct bypass surgery restores normal bile flow when the natural passage is blocked due to tumors, scarring, or inflammation.
Why You May Need a Bile Duct to Duodenum Connection
This procedure is commonly recommended for:
- Benign biliary strictures
- Malignant obstructions (especially from pancreatic cancer)
- Chronic cholangitis
- Failed endoscopic stent placements
- Post-cholecystectomy complications
- Severe CBD obstruction that cannot be relieved endoscopically

Choledocho-Duodenostomy vs Hepaticojejunostomy
While both are biliary bypass surgeries, choledocho-duodenostomy connects the common bile duct directly to the duodenum, offering a simpler, more physiological route. Hepaticojejunostomy, on the other hand, is used in more complex or proximal obstructions involving the liver ducts and jejunum.
Our expert gastroenterologists in Andheri West evaluate the specific site of obstruction to choose the most suitable technique for long-term bile drainage and patient comfort.
