Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Augmented reality (AR) visualization with Apple Vision Pro is feasible and safe for live biliary interventions using cholangioscopy. This technology enhances visualization and workflow continuity during complex procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Medical technology
  • Interventional radiology
  • Surgical visualization

Background:

  • Augmented reality (AR) offers potential for enhanced visualization in medical procedures.
  • Integrating AR into live biliary interventions requires evaluation of feasibility, safety, and workflow.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility, safety, and workflow integration of AR-assisted visualization during live biliary interventions.
  • To evaluate the use of Apple Vision Pro for cholangioscopy-guided biliary procedures.

Main Methods:

  • A pilot study involving four complex biliary interventions performed by an interventional radiologist using an AR headset.
  • Cholangioscopic video was streamed to the AR headset, serving as the primary visualization tool.
  • The AR system was integrated into standard sterile procedural workflows.

Intraoperative Video Consultation Following Bile Duct Transection Facilitates Direct OR Transfer for Robotic Hepaticojejunostomy at Tertiary Center

Published on: January 9, 2026

Main Results:

  • All four procedures were technically successful with no complications.
  • AR-assisted visualization allowed seamless integration of cholangioscopy without technical issues or sterility breaches.
  • Operators reported improved procedural continuity, enhanced visualization, and reduced head movements.

Conclusions:

  • AR-assisted cholangioscopy is technically feasible and safe in initial clinical use.
  • Spatial computing platforms like Apple Vision Pro may streamline workflows and offer ergonomic benefits in complex interventions.
