However, ductal dilation may not be seen on arrival to the emergency room or hospital admission in patients with acute pain. It can take 24 to 72 hours for the ducts to dilate after initial obstruction. Thus, cholescintigraphy can play an important diagnostic role in these patients. The ...

CT cholangiography, obtained after intravenous ororal administrationof a biliary contrast agent, displays biliary ductal anatomy and pathology similar to direct cholangiography. This technique has been used for the noninvasive detection of biliary anatomy and variations beforelaparoscopic cholecystectomyand in...
For complications of cholecystitis and cholangitis, gallbladder perforation, pericholecystic fluid, and intrahepatic ductal dilation, CT scan may be adequate. CT scan provides better information of the surrounding structures than sonogram and HIDA. CT scan is also noninvasive. Disadvantages of CT incl...

However, 84% of the ducts stented exhibited signs of ductal injury. Dr. Carr-Locke remarked that most endoscopists in this country have elected to perform minor pancreatic sphincterotomy for this condition, despite the positive results achieved with stenting. Am J Gastroenterol. 2000;95:1466-...
As mentioned previously, the intra-ductal mass type is rare, it typically manifests as an enhancing intraductal mass associated with proximal ductal dilation [15]. MRCP is an accurate method for anatomically mapping the biliary tree. It does not require biliary instrumentation. MRCP is now ...
with stricture recurrence occur- ring in 17% in both groups.62 In another retrospective study of 42 patients with postcholecystectomy BBSs, excellent or good long-term outcomes were achieved in 77.3% (17 of 22) patients treated surgically and 80% (16 of 20) patients treated endoscopically.63...
features are biliary duct obstruction as evident by proximal ductal dilatation, periductal thickening and enhancement (Figure12) [15,41]. As mentioned previously, the intra-ductal mass type is rare, it typically manifests as an enhancing intraductal mass associated with proximal ductal dilation [15...
and technical aspects of cholecystectomy in great detail. When working around the cystic duct one is ‘‘in the more delicate part of the operation.’’ He described an isosceles triangle with the base the common hepatic duct, the inferior ...
