Diagnostic accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound in evaluation of patients with obstructive jaundice: single-center experience
Highlights Dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) can be caused by diverse etiologies either benign or malignant. Trans-abdominal ultrasound (TUS), in skilled hands, can correctly identify biliary obstruction and its underlying etiology. However, it has high interobserver variability with poor sen...

| description | Highlights Dilatation of the common bile duct (CBD) can be caused by diverse etiologies either benign or malignant. Trans-abdominal ultrasound (TUS), in skilled hands, can correctly identify biliary obstruction and its underlying etiology. However, it has high interobserver variability with poor sensitivity for the detection of pancreatic neoplasms compared with other imaging techniques. There is heterogenicity in the literature regarding the competencies of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) in the evaluation of pancreaticobiliary disorders. We showed our real-life experience that suggests that EUS is a minimally invasive method with low incidence of complications with high diagnostic accuracy in patients with dilated CBD and even with unremarkable MRCP. |
