  • Title: [Significance of peroperative cholangiography in elective geriatric surgery of the bile ducts].

    Journal: Rev Esp Enferm Dig; 1990 May; 77(5):333-6. PubMed ID: 2390354.
    Abstract:
    We present a retrospective study on the value of peroperative cholangiography (POC) in geriatric patients submitted to elective surgery of the biliary tract. We analyze the results of the present series and compare them with a previous study of 200 cases of cholelithiasis in the general population. Our conclusion is that in geriatric patients, POC should be a routine practice in order to avoid an unnecessary choledochotomy and/or residual lithiasis post-cholecystectomy.
