New methods of x-ray investigation of the biliary system (BS) were proposed. A method of hydrostatic load in per os cholecystography, a method of the combined use of per os and iv cholecysto-cholangiography with hydrostatic load, and the use of finely divided suspension are simple and reliable, permitting one to obtain objective information on the BS.

The recent clinical outcomes of multi-regimen chemotherapy included prolonged survival and a high rate of conversion to surgery in Asian patients with advanced biliary tract cancer. The ability of single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) to detect and stage extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (CCC) in intraductal lesions is becoming more important in determining the extent of surgery. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of SOC in surgical planning for extrahepatic CCC.
