Core Tip Peroral cholangioscopy is a rapidly developing endoscopic technique that provides the possibility to directly explore the bile duct, thereby increasing diagnostic accuracy in selected cases. Less expensive and safer than in the past, the field of applications of peroral cholangioscopy, through the development of new dedicated accessories, has been recently expanded and includes several therapeutic options such as the lithotripsy of difficult bile duct stones, ablative therapies for biliary malignancies and direct biliary drainage.
