[Diagnostic value of fibrocholedochoscopy and its role in the selection of a method of choledochotomy closing].
The authors have analyzed the experience with using fibrocholedochoscopy in 136 patients mainly with complicated forms of cholelithiasis. The endoscopic examination was found to be more effective in the revealing and better differentiation of various forms of cholangitis. It facilitated the detection of small concrements in the intrahepatic ducts and the terminal portion of the common bile duct which had not been found by other methods and helped to diagnose cicatricial strictures of the Vater's papilla. Fibrocholedochoscopy helped to choose the optimal method of finishing choledochotomy, gave considerably wider indications for tight suture of the common bile duct.
