title: [Method of laparoscopic catheterization of the cystic duct].
abstract: During videolaparoscopic operations on bile eliminating pathways when the patent cystic duct is catheterized for cholangiography or drainage of choledochus by the Halsted-Pikovsky method there appear problems with the introduction of the tube into the cystic duct. In order to facilitate the cystic duct catheterization the authors propose to use a fishing-line conductor with the diameter of 0.8-1.0 mm. The method is simple, accessible, facilitates and accelerates the catheterization of the cystic duct and prevents compression of the tube lumen when fixing it with the endoclamp.
