Diagnostic Bile Duct Endoscopy Via Existing Tract

This service is an endoscopic examination of the bile duct system, performed through an existing surgically placed tube or tract rather than through a new incision. A thin scope is passed through the tract to look directly inside the bile ducts, and a specimen may be collected by brushing or washing the duct lining for testing.
