Feasibility study of endoscopic biliary drainage under direct peroral cholangioscopy by using an ultra-slim upper endoscope (with videos)

Endoscopy International Open, 2021
The therapeutic utility of peroral cholangioscopy (POC) is limited. Direct POC using an ultra‑slim upper endoscope expands the therapeutic indications because of its larger working channel, of up to 2.2 mm.

Removal of a Large, Intractable Common Bile Duct Stone by Direct Peroral Cholangioscopy

The Korean Journal of Gastroenterology, 2020
ERCP is the standard treatment for common bile duct stones. On the other hand, 10-15% of cases involve intractable common bile duct stones, which cannot be treated by conventional biliary sphincterotomy with a stone retrieval method.

Single-operator holmium laser lithotripsy under direct peroral cholangioscopy using an ultra-slim upper endoscope in a patient with a large stone in the common bile duct

The Turkish Journal of Gastroenterology, 2017
In patients with complicated stones (e.g., large stones) in the common bile duct (CBD), advanced treatment modalities are generally needed. Here we present an interesting case of a large CBD stone treated with holmium laser lithotripsy, which was ...

Utility of Direct Peroral Cholangioscopy Using a Multibending Ultraslim Endoscope for Difficult Common Bile Duct Stones

Gut and Liver, 2022
Background/Aims: Treatment options for difficult bile duct stones are limited. Direct peroral cholangioscopy (POC)-guided lithotripsy may be an option. A newly developed multibending (MB) ultraslim endoscope has several structural features optimized for ...

Direct peroral cholangioscopy with red dichromatic imaging 3 detected the perihilar margin of superficial papillary extension in a patient with intraductal papillary neoplasm of the bile duct

DEN Open, 2023
Intraductal papillary neoplasms of the bile duct (IPNB) are a tumor derived from bile duct epithelium that tends to spread laterally and non‐invasively. Surgery is the first‐choice treatment for IPNB.
