Therapeutic biliary endoscopy offers solutions for most biliary diseases. Current research focuses on evidence-based treatment choices for conditions like malignant strictures and fistulas, alongside optimizing techniques for gallbladder stone removal and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Hepatology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Biliary diseases encompass a range of conditions affecting the bile ducts and gallbladder.
  • Endoscopic treatments have become a primary modality for managing many biliary pathologies.
  • Optimal management strategies require careful consideration of available evidence and patient-specific factors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize current evidence on therapeutic biliary endoscopy.
  • To address key clinical questions regarding the management of complex biliary diseases.
  • To highlight advancements in endoscopic techniques and device development.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical guidelines on therapeutic biliary endoscopy.
  • Analysis of evidence supporting different endoscopic approaches for specific biliary conditions.

  • Discussion of emerging technologies and techniques in biliary endoscopy.

    • Main Results:

    • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a cornerstone for diagnosing and treating biliary disorders.
    • Specific evidence-based algorithms are being developed for managing malignant biliary strictures and external biliary fistulas.
    • Techniques like endoscopic ampullectomy and new device development are improving procedural success rates.

    Conclusions:

    • Therapeutic biliary endoscopy is effective for a wide spectrum of biliary diseases.
    • Evidence-based decision-making is crucial for optimizing treatment selection in complex cases.
    • Ongoing advancements in endoscopic techniques and devices continue to enhance patient outcomes.
