Результаты рентгено-эндоскопической диагностики заболеваний внепеченочных желчных протоков

A wide range of etiological factors, leading to the occurrence of mechanical jaundice, causes difficulties in diagnosing. Timely and accurate diagnosis, in the future, determines the success of treatment and a low level of complications. Retrograde interventions on extrahepatic bile ducts are the most common and gentle methods that allow performing not only diagnostics, but also therapeutic manipulations. An analysis of the results of X-ray endoscopy in 213 patients with mechanical jaundice is presented. The expediency and effectiveness of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in the form of detection of radiologic signs of biliary and intra-pancreatic hypertension accompanying choledocholithiasis was noted. Methods for increasing the level of efficiency of ERCP with use of EPT and modern tools are demonstrated.
