To explore the efficacy of a forward-viewing endoscope and rotatable sphincterotome in performing biliary interventions in patients with esophageal stenosis.
Performed endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) using a forward-viewing endoscope and rotatable sphincterotome in a patient with esophageal stenosis.
Conducted imaging studies (CT and MRI) to evaluate the condition of the bile ducts prior to intervention.
Successfully performed ERCP and biliary cannulation using the forward-viewing endoscope and rotatable sphincterotome.
Fragmented and removed a common bile duct stone, followed by biliary stent placement and eventual removal of residual stones.
