title: [Ultrasonic scanning and duodenoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of obstructive jaundice].
abstract: In 186 patients with obstructive jaundice admitted to the clinic for diagnosis of its cause, the ultrasound scanning with duodenoscopy was employed. This permitted to establish the cause of jaundice in 84.9% of the patients and to choose proper therapeutic tactics at the shortest time after hospitalization. In 80% of the patients, an obstacle for bile outflow was liquidated by means of endoscopy. When it was not possible to established the cause of jaundice by the findings of ultrasound scanning and duodenoscopy, percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography was performed, which has proved to be successful in 5.9% of cases. Use of the given methods for diagnosis permitted to define the optimal therapeutic tactics in patients with obstructive jaundice, to reduce the lethality.
