Abstract
The SpyGlass Direct Visualization System is a significant step forward in bringing optical visualization to the pancreatobiliary system by providing dedicated irrigation and therapeutic channels and 4-way steerability. Peroral cholangioscopy using the SpyGlass System may be safely performed by a single operator and provides reliable access to target sites for visual inspection and stone therapy using electrohydraulic lithotripsy or holmium laser lithotripsy. In addition, the SpyBite Biopsy Forceps has been shown to obtain adequate histologic tissue specimens reliably.Entities:
