[Endoscopic-radiologic cholangio-pancreaticography (author's transl)].
Results of 408 own endoscropic-radiologic cholangio-pancreatico-graphies are presented, indications and diagnostic relevance of the method are discussed. Low rate of complications and its high diagnostic value are reasons for ERCP's clinical importance even as a routine procedure at gastro-enterological centers. In the future, cytological, immunological and biochemical analysis of juices and aspirates as well as endoscopic surgery will contribute to an even wider clinical use of the method. In 337 patients (82.6%) cannulation of the papilla of Vater and visualization of one or both duct systems were successful. In 198 cases with visualization of ducts (58.8%) pathological lesions were found. Thus observation of indications and contra-indications of ERCP is documented, of a method, which is not too risky, but relatively expensive and difficult to employ.
