[The so-called postcholecystectomy syndrome in light of the results of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography].

The term "postcholecystectomy syndrome" indicates etiologically and pathogenetically various lesions of the organism related to variably expressed symptoms of pain and dyspepsia. The author has performed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) to 60 patients with "postcholecystectomy syndrome" to find out what underlies this syndrome. In 34 (56%) of the patients the biliary ducts were dilated.

[The potentials of echotomography in the diagnosis of diseases of the liver, biliary tract and pancreas in the presence of the extrahepatic cholestasis syndrome].

2260 patients with gastroenterologic diseases were examined by ultrasound tomography (sector echotomograph). In 47 (2.8%) of the patients echographic signs of extrahepatic cholestasis were found: dilated ductus choledochus (65.

[Benign intermittent intrahepatic cholestasis].

Two cases with benign intermittent intrahepatal cholestasis are described for the first time. Young males are concerned with repeated mechanical jaundice with free bile ducts at operation and roentgenologically. The prognosis of both cases was favourable.

[Endoscopic retrograde pancreatocholangiography (ERPC) (a preliminary report of 2 cases)].

The application of two retrograde pancreato-cholangiographies is reported in patients with papillo-oditis and chronic pancreatitis. The advantages of the method for the diagnosis of the diseases of bile and pancreatic duct systems are stressed upon. Temporary and rapid transitory diastases elevation in serum and urine was observed without pancreatitis manifestations.
