In 80% of cases in this study group, the axial drainage has been used. Elements regarding the surgical procedures used for the patients included in the study are presented and the advantages, indications and counter indications of the axial drainage method derived from our clinical practice are highlighted. Axial drainage has proven to be, from the point of view of the experience stated in the study, the best drainage method for the common bile duct.
