Croci, Fabio - Cluzet, Oscar - Cresseri, Aída - Petersen, Federico - Nuchovich, Mauricio

Resumen:

The authors analyze the efficacy of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of the biliary tract path ology; in a series of 104 hospital patients.In every case the results were confirmed by preoperative C holangiography and surgery. The present study shows the reliability of ultrasonography in patients with presumed or proved pathology of the biliary tract.The positive diagnosis of a surgical pathology of the biliary tract, be it tumoral or due to lithiasis, seems to be the most remarkable use of ultrasonography. At the same time emphasis is made upon its great usefulness as a reliable method in the diagnosis of a jaundiced patient.


Los autores analizan la eficacia de la US en el diagnóstico de la patología de la VBP, en una serie de 104 pacientes de la clientela hospitalaria. En todos los casos la corroboración se estableció por el acto operatorio y la colangiografía preoperatoria. El presente estudio demuestra las bondades y confiabilidad de la US en el análisis del paciente con presunta o probada patología de la VBP.En principio su mayor utilidad radica en el diagnóstico positivo de patología quirúrgica de la VBP sea ésta litiásica o tumoral.Se destaca asimismo su gran confiabilidad en el diagnóstico del paciente ictérico.
