Abstract
Two cases of Caroli’s diseases (simple type) precisely diagnosed prior to the operation by the direct cholangiography, endoscopie retrograde cholangiography, and percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography, were reported. They both had a long cystic duct, and association of cystic lesions of bilateral kidneys was revealed in one of them. Excessive biliary output had been observed postoperatively in both of them. A cholecystectomy and choledochodrainage successfully gave rise to favourable results in both cases reported.
