Direct Peroral Cholangioscopy

At least 90% of stones are extracted after conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. However, some cases are still difficult to manage completely. We describe some methods of removing difficult common bile duct stones through a single-operator cholangioscopy using SpyGlass system, direct peroral cholangioscopy, and temporary biliary stenting.

Technical Challenge

Common bile duct stones in patients with a previous gastrectomy can be a technical challenge because of the altered anatomy. This paper presents the successful management of two such patients using non-traditional techniques as conventional endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was not possible.
