description | Placement of nasobiliary tubes has now become a widely accepted
method for therapeutic drainage and instillation of solvents into the biliary tree.
The author routinely uses a 300 cm long, 7 or 10 French, specially performed
Teflon catheter, which adapts to the anatomy of the duodenum and bile ducts,
for the following indications: decompression of obstructed bile duct in acute
suppurative cholangitis; prevention of stone impaction after endoscopic
sphincterotomy; sequential cholangiography; biliary fistula; instillation of solvents
for common bile duct scones; local radiotherapy of biliary malignancies;
aspiration of bile for chemical and bacteriological studies; and drainage of
pancreatic pseudocysts. Pancreatic or biliary drains should supplement traditional
diagnostic and therapeutic modalities in patients with surgical or medical
lesions of the pancreas and biliary tree. |
