“…In 97% of patients, technical success was achieved with successful advancing of the scope to the lesion, full visualization of the lesion, and proper diagnostic maneuvering. Adverse events were observed in 12% of cases, with most patients experiencing post-procedure abdominal pain and only 4% of patients developing post-procedure pancreatitis [27]. The authors concluded that pancreatoscopy can be highly successful and should be considered in patients with difficult pancreatic pathologies.…”

Direct visualization of bile and pancreatic duct pathology is proving to be beneficial in patients where previous techniques have failed. Recent advancements in technology and the development of the SpyGlass system have led to an increased use of cholangioscopy. It is already known that SpyGlass is beneficial in patients with difficult bile duct stones and indeterminate biliary lesions through the use of targeted lithotripsy and visually guided biopsy. Cholangioscopy allows the visualization of hidden stone and guide wire placement across difficult strictures and selective cannulation of the intrahepatic and cystic ducts. It is also demonstrating its utility in investigational applications such as post-liver transplant and primary sclerosing cholangitis stricture treatment, evaluation of hemobilia, and guided radiofrequency ablation of ductal tumors. In addition to having clinical utility, cholangioscopy may also be cost-effective by limiting the number of repeat procedures. Cholangioscopy overall has similar complication rates compared to other standard endoscopic retrograde cholangioscopy (ERCP) techniques, but there may be higher rates of cholangitis. This could be mitigated with prophylactic antibiotic use, and overall, cholangioscopy has similar complication rates compared to other techniques.

“…They evaluated in a retrospective analysis a 13-year experience of patients who underwent pancreatoscopy to evaluate an indeterminate pancreatic duct stricture or suspected intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN). A final diagnosis of neoplasia was established in 42% (33/79) patients included in the study (adenocarcinoma in 12 cases and IPMN in 21) [48]. The authors reported an 87% accuracy in distinguishing malignant for benign lesions (sensitivity 87%, specificity 86%) [48].…”

Besides the adverse effects associated with endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), indirect visualization of the biliopancreatic system through fluoroscopy has limited its diagnostic and therapeutic efficacy. Direct visualization through cholangiopancreatoscopy may overcome this limitation and allow the resolution of many dilemmas related to the diagnostic and therapeutic drawbacks of ERCP. Herein, we discuss the current indications of single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) concerning the diagnostic interventions within the biliopancreatic system. The current role of SOC in the diagnosis of pancreatobiliary stenosis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm, and pre-surgical mapping of neoplastic lesions were reviewed. There is growing data in the literature supporting the early implementation of SOC in the diagnostic algorithm of pancreatobiliary diseases. In selected cases, this could prevent diagnostic delay and reduce the risks and costs related to repeated ERCPs. This potential characterizes SOC as safety and cost-effective.

“…Peroral pancreatoscopy has been used sporadically for diagnosis of a number of pancreatic neoplasms, especially intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm of the main pancreatic duct, besides ductal adenocarcinoma. The role of peroral pancreatoscopy in the evaluation of 79 patients with indeterminate pancreatic duct strictures, dilations, or with suspected or known main duct IPMN was published by El Hajj et al [126] in 2014. The technical success of POP was achieved in 97% of cases.…”

Endoscopy - Novel Techniques and Recent Advancements

Recent advances in imaging technology provide improved direct visualization of the common bile duct (CBD) and pancreatic duct (PD) using small caliber endoscopes and thus allow a wide array of therapeutic interventions. This chapter will review the technique of cholangiopancreatoscopy (CP), indications, effectiveness, and complications as well as the current commercially available options. We will discuss various methods of diagnostic and therapeutic cholangioscopy such as intraductal tissue sampling and biopsy in patients with indeterminate biliary strictures along with its role in the management of difficult bile duct stones. Finally, we will also analyze the role of pancreatoscopy in the evaluation of suspected neoplasms of the pancreas, assessment of pancreatic duct (PD) strictures, and in the treatment of pancreatic duct stones.
