Are clinical observations of various diseases of the bile ducts, including cholangiocarcinoma, developed with chronic diseases pancreato-biliary zone. Reflected the complexity of instrumental diagnostics at an early stage of the disease. For the first time at the given pathology diagnostic purposes was applied the method of probe confocal laser endomicroscopy allowed in all cases to clarify and verify the diagnosis. Describes the technique of the research, its results are compared with other diagnostic methods. The authors suggest that in the diagnosis of pancreatic and biliary zone method probe confocal laser endomicroscopy can be crucial in inefficiency or uninformative other methods.
