Clinical Application of a Single-Operator Direct Visualization System Improves the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Yield of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

Clinical Application of a Single-Operator Direct Visualization System Improves the Diagnostic and Therapeutic Yield of Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography

BACKGROUND: Single-operator cholangioscopy enables direct diagnostic visualization and therapeutic intervention in the biliary tree. There is increasing evidence of its clinical utility in the assessment of biliary strictures and treatment of difficult stones.
