Endoscopic Pancreatocholangiography in the Evaluation of Pancreatic and Biliary Disease

Abstract Recent advances in fiberoptic instrumentation permit direct observation of the duodenum and cannulation of the ampulla of Vater with pancreatocholangiography in essentially all cases. An analysis of this technique in 252 consecutive patients with pancreatobiliary symptoms reveals that it is a safe and effective technique that may add significant new information in the evaluation of these patients.
