Sphincteroplasty
Operative Indications:
Sphincteroplasty is an operative procedure that has been used for a variety of conditions in the past. For many decades it was utilized as treatment for recurrent acute and/or chronic pancreatitis. This is now considered only a rare indication in an unusual instance. Some surgeons feel that sphincteroplasty should be added to papillotomy of the accessory papilla when surgically treating a patient who has recurrent abdominal pain secondary to pancreas divisum. In the past, there has been some enthusiasm for sphincteroplasty and septotomy of the pancreatic duct orifice for the management of patients with refractory post-cholecystectomy abdominal pain, perhaps secondary to stenosis of the pancreatic duct orifice.
Sphincteroplasty has also been utilized for calculus disease of the biliary tree. If, after a common duct exploration, the sur­geon is not certain that all of the stones have been removed, some surgeons open the duodenum and perform a sphinctero­plasty so that any retained stones might pass spontaneously. It is still used for patients who have an impacted distal common duct stone that cannot be retrieved from above through a choledochotomy, or from below via endoscopic papillotomy. A sphincterotomy is performed to dislodge the stone, and most surgeons will proceed to extend the incision and convert it into a formal sphincteroplasty. Many biliary tract surgeons utilize sphincteroplasty if a patient is treated operatively for a recurrent or primary common duct stone. Most of these patients however are now managed with endoscopic papillotomy.
If endoscopic papillotomy is unsuccessful and the patient requires a laparotomy, most biliary tract surgeons feel it is important to add a drainage procedure to common duct exploration and stone extraction in patients with primary common duct stones. Sphincteroplasty can be successfully used as the drainage procedure. Finally, at open cholecystectomy if an operative cholangiogram demonstrates common duct stones in the face of a normal or small common duct, sphincteroplas­ty and retrograde common duct exploration can be used in an effort to avoid opening the common duct.
Sphincteroplasty 33
Operative Technique:
The abdomen is usually entered through a right subcostal incision. If the gall bladder is in place, a cholecystectomy is performed. After the gall bladder has been mobilized, cholan­giography is often carried out. After the decision has been made to perform a sphinctero­plasty, a small opening is made in the cystic duct, and a balloon catheter is inserted into the common duct, distally through the ampulla, and into the duodenum. The duodenum is kocherized and, following balloon inflation, the area of the ampulla can be identified by pal­pation. A longitudinal duodenotomy is made over the point where the surgeon palpates the balloon. If the gall bladder is not in place, an effort is made to palpate the ampulla through the duodenum to locate the correct position for the duodenotomy. If the ampulla cannot be

palpated, a small choledochotomy can be performed and a Bakes dilator inserted down through the distal biliary tree and through the ampulla into the duodenum.

Stay sutures of 3-0 silk are placed in the duodenum over
the ampulla. The balloon catheter is then advanced
beyond the ampulla so as not to perforate the bal-
loon when the duodenotomy is performed. The
duodenotomy is performed with the electro-
cautery (1). After the duodenotomy is com-
pleted, the ampulla can easily be seen by
identifying the balloon catheter emanating
from the biliary tree.

Once the location of the ampulla has been clearly identi­fied, the duodenotomy can be extended in either or both directions for adequate exposure. Stay sutures of 5-0 synthet­ic absorbable material are placed at 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock into the muscular fibrous tissue of the ampulla. Using the bal­loon catheter as a guide, a sphincterotomy is performed at 11

o’clock or 12 o’clock with the electrocautery (2).
The opening is extended three or four millimeters at a time. Once the ampulla has been opened, the ductal mucosa is sutured to the duodenum mucosa with a series of interrupt­ed 5-0 synthetic absorbable sutures (3). These sutures are

Pancreatic duct orifice
Sphincteroplasty 35
After the initial sphincterotomy incision, the pancreatic duct orifice can be identified with a silver probe (4). The sphinc­terotomy is generally extended for 1 cm or 2 cm with fur­ther 5-0 synthetic absorbable sutures being placed to approximate the duodenal and ductal mucosa. Finally, an apex suture is placed when the length of the sphinc­terotomy is deemed sufficient. There is little sense in making a sphincterotomy incision that is larger than the diameter of the common duct.
The length of the sphincteroplasty incision will vary depending upon the reason for its use. If one is performing a sphincteroplasty merely to dislodge an impacted common duct stone, a larger incision is unnecessary once the incision is large enough to dislodge the stone. On the other hand, if one is per-

forming a sphincteroplasty incision in a markedly dilated common duct because of the concern of leaving behind retained stones, or if one is performing the sphincteroplasty because of recurrent pri­mary common duct stones, a sphincteroplasty incision 2 cm to 3 cm in length may be carried out. One should be careful not to extend the sphinc­teroplasty incision beyond the point where the biliary tract and duodenum have a common wall. With careful approximation of the ductal and duodenal mucosa, however, risk of retroperitoneal or intraperitoneal leakage is virtually eliminated.

If the sphincteroplasty has been carried out for what are believed to be
symptoms related to the pancreas, from a stenotic pancreatic duct orifice, a septotomy can be performed with Pott’s scissors (5). This incision can

usually be extended for four or five millimeters, at which point the septum
thickens as the course of the pancreatic and biliary tree diverge. Some feel
that the pancreatic and ductal mucosa should also be approximated with 5-
0 or 6-0 synthetic absorbable material.

Following the completion of the sphincteroplasty, the balloon catheter is removed, the cystic duct is doubly clamped and divided, and the gall bladder is removed from the operative field. The cystic duct stump is ligated with a 2-0 silk. If it has been necessary to perform a choledochotomy for insertion of a Bakes dilator, a small T-tube should be left.
If the sphincteroplasty has been performed because of cholangiographic evidence of biliary calculi in a normal or small common duct, to avoid the technical and mechanical problems of exploring a small duct through a choledochotomy, we have utilized transampullary exploration. The common duct can be explored with the

same variety of instruments as one utilizes with a traditional common duct explo­ration through a choledochotomy. Biliary scoops, Randall stone forceps (6), flushing through a French catheter, and a balloon catheter can all be utilized (7). At the end of the procedure, one does not have to be concerned about placing a small T-tube in a very small common duct. In addition, a sphinctero­plasty has been performed, so if one does not retrieve all the stones in the bil­iary tree, the stones have a free course to pass spontaneously.

of 3-0 silk are placed at each end of the duodenotomy. The duodeno-

material placed in a Connell fashion. Sutures are started at each end and are tied in the middle. The outer layer is a row of inter­rupted, 3-0 silk, Lembert sutures. The duodenotomy may be
drained with a Silastic closed suction drain. This is more for pro-
tection in case the sphincteroplasty extends beyond the point
where the biliary tree and duodenum share a common wall, rather
than protection against leakage from the duodenotomy.
Side-to-Side Choledochoduodenostomy
Operative Indications:
Side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy, like sphincteroplasty, is a procedure that has been used in the past for a variety of diseases, but only infrequently now. Side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy can be used for calculus disease of the biliary tract if, after common duct exploration, one is unsure that the biliary tree has been cleared of stones. Performing a side­to-side choledochoduodenostomy will allow any retained stones to pass spontaneously. In the past, the most common indi­cation for the procedure has been for primary or recurrent common duct stones. Following choledochotomy and stone extraction, a side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy has been advocated by many for primary common duct stones to pre­vent recurrent stone formation or to allow recurrent stones to pass spontaneously if they do recur. Today, most patients with primary common duct stones are treated by endoscopic papillotomy.
Patients with distal biliary strictures are particularly good candidates for side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy. A
patient with chronic pancreatitis, a distal biliary stricture secondary to scarring, and fibrosis of the head of the pancreas, can often be managed by side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy. Some surgeons have also advocated its use for palliation of biliary obstruction from periampullary malignant disease that is unresectable. Although there are theoretical objections
to placing the biliary anastomosis so close to the primary tumor, experience in several centers has demonstrated that this can be an effective way of achieving palliative biliary decompression, with little risk of subsequent biliary obstruction from tumor extension. Side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy can also be an effective operation in patients with recurrent bil­iary tract stones and/or symptoms from a peri-Vaterian diverticulum. Many have advocated diverticulum resection, but side­to-side choledochoduodenostomy is a safer, easier procedure.

Operative Technique:
The patient is explored through a right subcostal incision. These individuals have often had a prior cholecystectomy and the old incision is re-entered. If a cholecystectomy has not been performed previously, it is carried out. Most biliary tract surgeons feel that the diam­eter of the patient’s common duct should be at least 1 a side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy can be performed with little risk of subsequent anastomosis stricture.
If the procedure is being performed for a primary or recur­rent common duct stone, the biliary tree is usually marked­ly dilated, with a large, often ovoid or cigar-shaped, brown primary common duct stone lodged distally (1). Complete biliary obstruction is uncommon in these patients,

and the bilirubin is usually only mildly elevated. Likewise, if the side-to-side choledochoduodenostomy is being performed for an unresectable periampullary malignancy, the common duct is also substantially dilated.
The adhesions between omentum and the undersurface of the liver are divided. The duodenum and the extrahepat­ic biliary tree are exposed via both sharp and blunt dissec­tion. Adhesions and attachments between the hepatic flex­ure of the colon and the duodenum are divided sharply, and the duodenum is kocherized. Medial attachments between the omentum and duodenum are also divided. As much of the duodenum as possible is exposed and mobilized, so the duode­num can be brought up on top of the common duct for a tension­free, side-to-side anastomosis. The first portion of the duodenum is

Choledochotomy
Once the duodenum has been completely mobilized and the extrahepat-
ic biliary tree exposed along its anterior, lateral, and medial surfaces,
a choledochotomy is performed with the distal end extending to
the point where the biliary tree passes posterior to the first
portion of the duodenum. The choledochotomy is initially
made with a No. 15 blade. It is then extended with Pott’s
scissors (2). The length of the choledochotomy should be
2
at least 2 cm. The diameter of the common duct should be at least 1

2 cm and preferably 2 cm before the operation
is performed.
Once the choledochotomy has been performed, the duct is explored and any calculi are removed (3). These patients generally will have had preoperative cholangiog­raphy performed either percutaneously or endoscopically. Thus, the exact number of stones and their locations are often known at the time of sur­gery. If the operation is being performed for calculus disease, the var­ious maneuvers that have been previously described for common duct exploration are all carried out (refer to CBD exploration pages XX).. Once the biliary tree has been cleared of calculi, a longi­tudinal duodenotomy the same length as the choledochotomy is performed in the duodenum directly adjacent to, but at right angles with the choledochotomy. This anastomosis is usually performed in one layer. Although some biliary surgeons have advocated synthetic absorbable sutures, we use 3-0 silk with all the knots placed on the outside. We have never experi-

enced difficulty with calculi formation on the sutures. The apex suture in the choledochotomy is placed first (3). A 3-0 silk is passed from outside the biliary tree to within, and
then passed from within the duodenum to the outside and secured.

my for subsequent suture placement. Interrupted sutures of 3-0 silk are then placed, always passing from outside in on the common duct side, and from inside out on the duodenal side, tying and cutting each suture as it is placed (5). When this layer has been com­pleted to the ends of the duo­denotomy and the mid-lateral aspects of the choledochotomy, the stay sutures are secured.

This suture is gathered in a similar fashion by hold­ing both ends and the mid-portion of the suture in a hemostat. Again, this nicely aligns the duo­denotomy and choledochotomy so that the anastomosis can be completed. The anasto­mosis is completed with a series of through­and-through, interrupted 3-0 silk sutures. The final three or four sutures of the side-to­side choledochoduodenostomy are held until all sutures are in place and then they are secured (6).

This is a side-to-side anastomosis, which is performed by pulling the first and second por­tions of the duodenum on top of the common duct, and then carrying out the anastomosis. The anastomosis can easily be palpated through the duo­denum when the procedure is completed and should be widely patent. The anastomosis is demonstrated dia­grammatically in (7). The theoretical shortcomings of the procedure are also nicely depicted. There is a segment of bil­iary tree that extends from the choledochoduodenostomy down to the ampulla. It has been reported that vegetable mate­rial from the duodenum can pass into the biliary tree through the side-to-side anastomosis and can become impacted distally, pro­ducing non-specific right upper quadrant symptoms referred to

as “the sump syndrome.” This is a theoretical disadvantage of the operative procedure, but we have never seen this complica­tion. The area of the choledochoduodenostomy can be drained with a closed suction Silastic drain.
