Approach to cholestasis: an update.

J H Siegel, R P Yatto

    Archives of Internal Medicine
    |October 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    New diagnostic and therapeutic techniques improve cholestasis management. Advanced imaging and procedures like percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatography (PTC) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) enable precise diagnosis and biliary decompression, refining surgical roles.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatobiliary Medicine
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Interventional Gastroenterology

    Background:

    • Cholestasis diagnosis and treatment have historically presented challenges.
    • The advent of advanced imaging and minimally invasive techniques offers new possibilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the impact of new techniques on cholestasis diagnosis and therapy.
    • To highlight the role of imaging and interventional procedures in managing cholestasis.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current diagnostic modalities including ultrasonography and computed tomographic scanning.
    • Description of direct opacification techniques: percutaneous transhepatic cholangiopancreatography (PTC) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
    • Discussion of therapeutic applications of PTC and ERCP for biliary decompression.

    Main Results:

    • Ultrasonography and CT scanning provide effective initial screening for cholestasis.
    • PTC and ERCP offer accurate diagnostic information and enable direct visualization of the biliary tree.
    • Therapeutic extensions of PTC and ERCP allow for effective decompression of obstructed biliary systems.

    Conclusions:

    • New techniques have significantly advanced the diagnostic capabilities for cholestasis.
    • Interventional procedures like PTC and ERCP play a crucial role in both diagnosis and therapy.
    • The precise definition of surgical roles in cholestasis management is now possible due to these advancements.
