Direct 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...

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 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...
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 کاملCommon bile duct stone removal with overtube-assisted direct peroral cholangioscopy, without balloon inflation, using an ultra-slim gastroscope following electrohydraulic lithotripsy.
who presented with obstructive jaundice due to a large (2.5 cm) stone in the common bile duct (CBD). We attempted mechanical lithotripsy but the stone was too big for the basket (●" Fig. 1). We decided to break the stone with electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) and carry out direct peroral cholangioscopy instead of motherbaby endoscopy. In our experience, the mother-baby endoscopic system has se...
