Additional biliary procedures including choledochojejunostomy and common bile duct exploration were performed in 296 patients.Results The operative mortality was 2 1%, and the morbidity rate was 8 4%. The majority of complications were biliary fistulas (2 9%), subphrenic infection (4 5%), peritoneal abscesses (0 4%) and liver failure (0 6%).
