| Core Tip |
To date, technical restrictions of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopan-creatogram may explain the insufficient sensitivity of diagnostics when biliary changes are suspected. Therefore choledochoscopy may be a direct diagnostic procedure to help. SpyGlassTM is a technically advanced cholangioscopy system facilitating diagnostics in the bile duct due to its single-operator feature. Different studies reported a clearly enhance diagnostic accuracy for this technique. However, the visualization of bile duct lesions itself is of great value since it offers precise dignity evaluation based on macroscopic criteria. |
