Analysis of surgical treatment of 336 patients with cicatricial strictures and iatrogenic external fistulas of extrahepatic bile ducts is presented. The causes of these complications were intrasurgical injuries during cholecystectomy (n=302), resection of the stomach (n=21) and echinococcectomy (n=13). In all the cases correction of water-electrolytic balance, treatment and prophylaxis of hepatic and renal insufficiency, control of anaerobic infection were carried out before and after surgery. Restorative operations were performed in 31 (9.2%) patients, reconstructive surgeries -- in 305 (90.7%). Recurrence of the stricture required surgical intervention in 38 (11,3%) patients. Various postoperative complications were diagnosed in 119 (35.4%) patients, 26 (7.7%) patients died.
