During the recent live course in India, Dr. Horst Neuhaus, Director of the Center of Excellence in Düsseldorf, Germany, demonstrates the use of a new baby cholangioscope that can be passed through a special therapeutic side viewing instrument. The patient has an indeterminate stricture just below the hilus of the liver, and both right and left hepatic ducts are dilated. Dr. Neuhaus is being assisted by Dr. K.L. Goh from the Center of Excellence in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Because the common bile duct could not be cannulated with the cholangioscope, it was necessary to perform a sphincterotomy: this procedure is demonstrated. Following sphincterotomy, this special cholangioscope can be passed up to and through the stricture at the hilum. The vascular pattern at the lesion was diagnostic of carcinoma which was proven by a biopsy taken through this instrument.
This procedure was performed at the Center of Excellence in Hyderabad, India under the direction of Dr. Nageshwar Reddy.
