    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Device Innovation
    • Surgical Instrumentation

    Background:

    • Biliary strictures, both malignant and benign, pose significant challenges in patient care.
    • Current methods for U tube placement can be complex and require specialized tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and describe a new, modified instrument designed for efficient U tube placement.
    • To address the need for improved tools in managing biliary strictures.

    Main Methods:

    • A standard 3 mm Bakes dilator was modified.
    • A circumferential groove and a small hole were added to the tip of the dilator.

    Main Results:

    • The modified dilator serves as a novel instrument for U tube insertion.
    • The design facilitates passage through narrow and complex biliary strictures.

    Conclusions:

    • This modified Bakes dilator offers a practical solution for U tube placement in biliary strictures.
    • The instrument has potential to improve procedural outcomes and patient management.
