title: [Retrograde endoscopic diagnosis and therapy in diseases of the bile papillae and the bile ducts (author's transl)].
abstract: Duodenoscopy with retrograde cholangiopancreatography including associated methods (cytology, manometry, endoscopic sphincterotomy, etc.) allows, with little risk, a more precise differentiation of jaundice. Considering the therapeutic consequences, the effort seems relatively small. Diagnostic improvements lead to more differentiated therapy. Therapeutic endoscopy is being substituted for classic therapeutic methods of internal medicine and surgery.
