Core Tip	Brush cytology is commonly used to collect tissue samples during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography for the evaluation of biliary strictures, but the diagnostic sensitivity of the method is limited because of an insufficient cellular yield. We evaluated whether sheath rinsing affects cellular yield. Our findings showed that the yield and diagnostic accuracy of biliary brush cytology improved significantly when sheath-rinsed specimens were assessed. This technique should be included in routine clinical practice to improve diagnostic performance for biliary strictures.
