Abstract | AIM OF THE STUDY: MATERIALS AND METHODS: For the study were observed 13 symptomatic patients (M 4; F 9 - age 38-71, medium 54 years). All the patients were treated by percutaneous alcoholization under ultrasonographic control. RESULTS: Better technique and protocol standardisation give us the possibility to utilise percutaneous ethanol injection like a good treatment for symptomatic patients. CONCLUSIONS: Easy technique, low cost and very small number of complications gives to percutaneous ethanol injection the possibility to become the gold standard for the treatment of biliary cysts.
