  • Title: [Echosonography and retrograde cholangiopancreatography in selecting surgical tactics in mechanical jaundice].
    Author: Kanorskiĭ ID, Megrabian RA, Gu'rev AD, Vasi'lkova ZF, Malik A.
    Journal: Sov Med; 1989; (10):35-7. PubMed ID: 2694380.
    Abstract:
    The results of the diagnosis and treatment of 134 patients with obstructive jaundice are analyzed. The diagnostic potentialities of the ultrasonic method and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCPG) are compared. ERCPG has been found more effective for the diagnosis of the causes, localization, and severity of the bile duct obstruction in patients with mechanical jaundice. Endoscopic papillosphincterotomy is an effective treatment modality that helps eliminate or reduce the jaundice, remove the concrements from the duct, and reduce the scope of abdominal cavity surgery in cholelithiasis.
