Single-operator Cholangioscopy Guided Lithotripsy
ERCP is the standard treatment for common bile duct stones (CBD stones). On the other hand, in approximately 10% of patients with CBD stones, the complete removal of the stones cannot be achieved by conventional ERCP, which performs endoscopic ...

Direct endoscopic views of bile duct have been described in literature since the 1970s. Since then rapid strides have been made with the advent of technologically advanced systems with better image quality and maneuverability. The single operator semi-disposable per-oral cholangioscope and other novel methods such as the cholangioscopy access balloon ...

Management of malignant biliary diseases by the use of peroral and percutaneous cholangioscopy
Background and Aims: The single-operator digital cholangioscope has allowed visual access to the biliary tree and the ability to perform selective biopsies. This has significantly improved our diagnostic yield in bile-duct disorders.

Minimally Invasive Approach Using Digital Single-Operator Peroral Cholangioscopy-Guided Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy and Endoscopic Nasogallbladder Drainage for the Management of High-Grade Mirizzi Syndrome [PDF]
Mirizzi syndrome is a rare complication of gallbladder disease that can be difficult to treat. In particular, endoscopic treatment often fails because of the inability to access or to capture the impacted cystic duct stone.

Clinical practice patterns in indirect peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy : outcome of a European survey [PDF]
Background and aims Indirect peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy (IPOC) is a relatively new diagnostic and therapeutic tool for biliopancreatic diseases. This international survey aimed to evaluate clinical practice patterns in IPOC among endoscopists in ...
