    Abstract:
    Efficacy of endoultrasonography application in conditions of moderate risk for choledocholithiasis occurrence was estimated in 33 patients, in whom ultrasonography (US) did not reveal the common biliary duct concrements. Sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive and negative prognostic values of the method in suspicion for choledocholithiasis presence while US performance have had constituted 78.6, 94.7, 82.0, 98.2 and 54.5%; vs for endoultrasonography--100, 94.4, 97, 93.8 and 100% accordingly. Endoultrasonography constitutes a safe and highly effective method of investigation in patients in suspicion of the biliary ducts disease presence, it permits to reveal choledocholithiasis in significant part of patients after ineffective US. This diagnostic option permits to reduce the need for performance of diagnostic endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography.
