Endoscopic approach to biliary diseases in 2020: Is there still a role for direct peroral cholangioscopy?

Cholangioscopy is increasingly used to complement to standard endoscopic retrograde cholangio-pancreatography (ERCP) as a diagnostic and therapeutic approach to biliary disorders, including biliary strictures and choledocholithiasis. Peroral cholangioscopy was first described in 1976, using a fiberoptic cholangioscope and mother-baby technique [1] [2]. However, the mother-baby technique, which uses a standard duodenoscope as a platform to advance a dedicated small caliber cholangioscope into the bile duct through the working channel of the duodenoscope, has never been widely adopted in clinical routine. This was mainly due to the fragility of the baby scope, its limited maneuverability, the minute accessory channel, and the need for a second experienced endoscopist [3]. A new video cholangioscope was introduced in 1999 with high-quality digital imaging [4]. However, two experienced operators were still needed for the procedure and the problem of the fragility of the baby scope and high associated costs for repairs persisted.
