Direct injection into the gallbladder in dogs, using ultrasonic guidance

M. T. Hogan, A. Watne, W. Mossburg and W. Castaneda

Direct injection into the gallbladder can be accomplished with the guidance of the ultrasonic aspiration transducer. Possible bile peritonitis is a limiting factor, but not necessarily a complication that contraindicates the procedure. Some modifications of the procedure may be necessary, and further investigation into this potentially valuable procedure is indicated.
