The aim of this study was to evaluate the study of intra- and extra-biliary ducts by contrast-enhanced colour-Doppler in patients who have undergone laparoscopic cholecystectomy.Contrast-enhanced colour-Doppler US was performed in 15 patients who had undegone laparoscopic cholecystectomy. The US contrast agent was introducted into the Kehr or Pedinelli tube to allow visualisation of the bile ducts and duodenum.The colour-Doppler study enabled visualisation of the contrat agent in the intra- and extra-hepatic bile ducts and in the duodenum in all patients, thereby permitting the accurate study of the post-operative course. The data obtained were confirmed by conventional radiology.The advantages of this US ultrasound technique are the complete absence of ionising radiation and no intolerance to the US contrast agent. This technique could therefore be used in selected patients as an alternative to trans-Kehr and trans-Pedinelli cholangyography. |
