Percutaneous fiberendoscopies of the biliary tract, including percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopies (PTCS), offer effective diagnosis and treatment for biliary tract conditions like stones and stenoses.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Diagnostic Imaging

Background:

  • Percutaneous endoscopic procedures are crucial for diagnosing and treating biliary tract diseases.
  • Advancements in fiberoptic technology have improved visualization and intervention capabilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on the experience with percutaneous fiberendoscopies of the biliary tract.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopies (PTCS) in diagnosis and therapy.

Main Methods:

  • Performed 309 percutaneous fiberendoscopies in 106 patients.
  • Utilized PTCS for differential diagnosis of stenoses (accuracy 92%) and therapeutic interventions like lithotomy and dilatation.
  • Employed postoperative PTCS for anastomosis assessment and biliary drainage.

Main Results:

  • PTCS successfully diagnosed stenoses and treated conditions such as biliary tract calculosis and anastomotic strictures.
  • Therapeutic interventions included 14 lithotomies and dilatations for biliary tract stenosis.
  • Postoperative PTCS effectively assessed anastomosis healing and facilitated biliary drainage.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous fiberendoscopy, particularly PTCS, is a valuable tool for managing complex biliary tract pathologies.
  • The techniques described demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy and therapeutic success rates.
