title: [Ultrasound controlled percutaneous transhepatic cholangiography].
abstract: A method of performing transcutaneous cholangiography under sonographic control is presented. This method makes it possible to enter the distended intrahepatic bile ducts accurately. The sonographic control enables the needle to be inserted into the superficial bile ducts. The method reduces liver traumatisation. Under the control of sonography the procedure is safer, and there are fewer complications.
