title: [Usefulness of endoscopic ultrasonography in the diagnosis of choledocholithiasis and inflammatory biliary strictures].
abstract: Results of the diagnosis of endoscopic ultrasonography (USG) in 58 patients with suspected choledocholithiasis were analyzed. Bile duct stones were diagnosed by USG in 54 patients, including 5 patients in combination with terminal bile duct strictures. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the USG method in detecting choledocholithiasis were 96.3, 100 and 96.5% respectively.
