Comparison of disposable digital single-operator cholangioscopy versus direct peroral cholangioscopy for the diagnosis of intraductal superficial lesions of the bile duct
Gefördert durch: SoonChunHyang University Research FundBackground and Aims: Disposable digital single-operator cholangioscopy (D-SOC) and direct peroral cholangioscopy (D-POC) using an ultraslim endoscope are established POC modalities for the diagnosis and treatment of various biliary diseases. We compared the usefulness of D-SOC and D-POC for the diagnosis of intraductal superficial lesions of the bile duct (ISL-Bs). Methods: In total, 38 consecutive patients with suspected biliary diseases who underwent both D-SOC and D-POC were enrolled. The primary outcome was the detection rate of the ISL-Bs, and the secondary outcomes were the technical success of POC and POC-guided forceps biopsy sampling (POC-FB), procedure time, visualization quality, and tissue adequacy. Results: D-SOC had a higher technical success rate than D-POC but without a statistically significant difference (100% vs. 92.1%, P = 0.248). D-POC had a marginally higher ISL-B detection rate (34.2% vs. 28.9%, P = 0.683) and significantly higher visualization quality (P = 0.033). The mean procedure time was significantly shorter with D-SOC (11.00 ± 1.34 vs. 19.03 ± 2.95 min, P < 0.001). The technical success rate of POC-FB and tissue adequacy did not differ between the two techniques (D-SOC vs. D-POC: 81.8% vs. 84.6%, P = 0.693 and 77.8% vs. 90.9%, P = 0.566). Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that both POC systems are safe and useful for the detection, characterization, and diagnosis of minute ISL-Bs. While D-SOC displayed a shorter procedure time and a tendency for higher technical success rate, D-POC provided superior visualization quality, allowing detailed observation of the surface structure and microvascular patterns.
