Manometry with needle cholangiography. A new technique.
A new method of cholangiomanometry developed on the basis of operative needle cholangiography is described. The pressure of the common bile duct is recorded during continuous infusion using two different speeds. The procedure is complemented by pressure controlled injections of a contrast medium and by fentanyl test to study the function of the sphincter of Oddi.
