Abstract

Forty-nine patients with suspected choledo¬cholithiasis were evaluated the efficiency of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) in the diagnosis of choledocholi¬thiasis. The definitive diagnosis was established by ERCP, intraoperative cholangioscopy or cholangiogra-phy (IOC) in 38 patients. ERCP, IOC or intraoperative cholangioscopy demonstrated choledocholithiasis in 24 of 38 patients. Eleven patients were thought to have cho¬ledocholithiasis on conventional ultrasonography (45.8%) and 23patients on EUS (95.75%). The diagnos¬tic accuracy of EUS was found more valuable than con¬ventional ultrasonography and equal to ERCP. These findings suggest that EUS may be as sensitive as ERCP in the detection of choledocholithiasis.

Özet

Koledok taşlarında EUS'nin etkinliğini araştır¬mak amacıyla koledok taşı şüphesi olan 49 hasta ince¬lendi. ERCP veya intraoperatuar kolanjioskopi (İOK) ile tanıları kesinleşen 38 hastanın EUS bulguları kon-vansiyonel ultrasonografi (US), ERCP ve İOK ile karşı¬laştırıldı. Otuzsekiz hastanın 24'ünde koledok taşı tanı¬sı konuldu. Bunlardan ll'inde (% 45.8) US ile, 23'ünde (%95.75) EUS ile koledok taşı saptandı. Koledok taşı tanısında EUS, US'den anlamlı olarak üstün bulundu, EUS ile ERCP ve İOK arasında istatistiksel farklılık yoktu. Sonuç olarak koledok taşı tanısında EUS'nin ERCP'ye yakın sonuç veren duyarlı bir yöntem olduğu kanısına varıldı.
