Current trends of minimally invasive therapy for cholecystocholedocholithiasis
IntroductionThe minimally invasive approach of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided procedures for cholecystocholedocholithiasis, such as EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), EUS-guided rendezvous (EUS-RV), and EUS-guided biliary drainage (EUS-BD ...

ABSTRACT Endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST) is challenging for patients with surgically altered anatomy (SAA). The blades of conventional sphincterotomes designed for SAA do not always face the correct direction of EST. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel rotatable sphincterotome for EST in patients undergoing Roux‐en‐Y gastrectomy ...

Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy
Abstract Since 1983, percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy has been performed in 50 patients for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopy was used to evaluate the nature of obstructive jaundice in 15 patients and bile duct stones were removed in 35 patients, 27 of whom also had intrahepatic ...

An international experience with single-operator cholangiopancreatoscopy in patients with altered anatomy [PDF]
Background and study aims: The utility of digital single- operator cholangiopancreatoscopy (D-SOCP) in surgically altered anatomy (SAA) is limited. We aimed to evaluate the technical success and safety of D-SOCP in patients SAA.
