There were close relationships between the flow rate per minute and the conductive score, and a flow rate below 14.0 ml/min and a conductive score below 9.2, respectively. All six patients who had received the drainage operation because of papillary stenosis had values below these. When passage at the ductal end was judged by means of a 3.0 mm diameter catheter, there was good agreement between the manometric and passable catheter findings. These findings suggest that the conductive score should be included in the criteria for diagnosing the need for a biliary drainage operation in papillary stenosis.}, pages = {47--49}, title = {Scoring the Bile Duct for the Indication of Additive Biliary Drainage Operation}, volume = {44}, year = {1996} }
