A new soft fiber-optic choledochoscope offers a safe and effective treatment for hepatolithiasis (bile duct stones). This minimally invasive approach provides a promising alternative to conventional surgery for selected patients.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Hepatology
- Minimally Invasive Surgery
Background:
- Hepatolithiasis (bile duct stones) often requires surgical intervention.
- Conventional treatments like hepatectomy or transplantation carry significant risks and trauma.
- Percutaneous transhepatic cholangioscopic lithotripsy is an alternative, but rigid choledochoscopes limit bile duct visualization.
