Summary

Peroral pancreaticoscopy (POPS) is an emerging endoscopic technique for diagnosing and treating pancreatic duct issues. This study found POPS provided diagnostic or therapeutic benefits in 8 of 9 patients, showing its potential in managing pancreatic diseases.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Pancreatology

Context:

  • Cholangioscopy is widely used, but peroral pancreaticoscopy (POPS) is still developing.
  • POPS serves as a clarifying examination for ambiguous findings during ERCP, such as stenoses or duct abnormalities.
  • Two types of 'babyscopes' exist; larger, tip-controlled scopes (≥3.2 mm) offer better visualization and functionality.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the diagnostic and therapeutic utility of peroral pancreaticoscopy (POPS) in patients with pancreatic duct diseases.
  • To assess the effectiveness of POPS in visualizing duct mucosa, obtaining biopsies, and guiding interventions like intracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ISWL).

Summary:

  • POPS was performed on 9 patients (average age 60) using a tip-controlled endoscope.

  • A diagnostic or therapeutic advantage was achieved in 8 cases.
  • Interventions included electrohydraulic lithotripsy (EHL) for an occluding stone and laser-induced shock wave lithotripsy (LISL) for pancreatic duct stones.

    • Impact:

    • POPS demonstrates potential for both diagnosis and therapy in pancreatic diseases.
    • Further extensive evaluation studies are needed to establish the full importance of POPS.
    • The technique facilitates visual assessment, biopsy, and targeted treatment of pancreatic duct pathologies.
