Peroral direct cholangioscopy for recurrent bile duct stones, using an ultrathin upper endoscope.
are rare, and occur when there is bile stasis and a nidus for stone conglomeration [1,2]. Endoscopic examination of the bile duct has traditionally been difficult and is not routinely performed. We report the first case of management of recurrent bile duct stones using an ultrathin upper endoscope. A 54-year-old woman presented for endoscopic retrograde cholangiography (ERC) for removal of bili...
متن کاملElectrohydraulic lithotripsy of large bile duct stones under direct cholangioscopy with a double-balloon endoscope.
The use of a short double-balloon endoscope facilitates the endoscopic removal of bile duct stones in patients with surgically altered anatomy [1,2]. However, the narrow and long working channel of the double-balloon endoscope occasionally makes the procedure difficult and timeconsuming. Herein, we present the case of a patient with a history of hepaticojejunostomy in whom large bile duct stone...
متن کاملDirect peroral cholangioscopy using an ultrathin endoscope: making technique easier.
BACKGROUND Cholangioscopy is a useful tool for the study and treatment of biliary pathology. Ultrathin upper endoscopes allow direct peroral cholangioscopy (DPC) but have some drawbacks. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to evaluate the success rate of DPC with an ultrathin endoscope using a balloon catheter to reach the biliary confluence. MATERIAL AND METHODS Prospective observational st...
متن کاملThe Role of Direct Peroral Cholangioscopy Using an Ultraslim Endoscope for Biliary Lesions: Indications, Limitations, and Complications
Advantages of direct peroral cholangioscopy (POC) using an ultraslim endoscope include use of conventional endoscopy equipment, operation by a single endoscopist, and superior image quality of the biliary tree with easy application of enhanced endoscopy and a large working channel. The major diagnostic indications of this system are an evaluation of biliary strictures, filling defects, or uncle...
متن کاملSuccessful endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome type II under direct peroral cholangioscopy using an ultraslim upper endoscope.
Surgery is standard management for patients with Mirizzi syndrome. In cases of Mirizzi syndrome type II, laparoscopic surgery is evenmore complicated because of the cholecystocholedochal fistula. Endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome is still controversial except to relieve a bile duct obstruction [1,2]. This report describes a successful endoscopic treatment for Mirizzi syndrome type II wi...
