[Hepatobiliary sequential-scintigraphy--progress in the evaluation of postcholecystectomy complains (author's transl)].
The hepatobiliary sequential-scintigraphy is a nuclear diagnostic procedure useful in assessing the function of liver and biliary system. 40 patients with and 20 patients without complains following cholecystectomy were examined. The value of this method in establishing biliary causes for such complains is demonstrated by typical cases. Simplicity and safety in application as well as diagnostic sensitivity should place the method in the first place evaluating postcholecystectomy complains. Succeeding indirect and direct radiologic techniques then may be used systematically with benefit for the patient and physician. Results indicate, that the procedure will be essential as well in evaluation as in analysis of nature and frequency of such complains by its superior presentation of intrahepatic bilestasis and functional mechanisms of the biliary system including the sphincter of Oddi.
