Core Tip |
Per-oral cholangiopancreatoscopy (POCPS) is now an important additional tool during endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. In patients with indeterminate biliary strictures, peroral cholangioscopy (POCS) and POCS-guided targeted biopsy are useful for establishing a definitive diagnosis. POCS and POCS-guided lithotripsy are recommended for treatment of difficult common bile duct stones when standard techniques fail. In patients with main duct intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms POPS may be used to assess extent of tumor to assist surgical resection. In difficult pancreatic ductal stones, POPS-guided lithotripsy may be useful in fragmentation and extraction of stones. Additional indications for POCPS include selective guidewire placement, unexplained hemobilia, assessing intraductal biliary ablation therapy, and extracting migrated stents. |
