Diagnostic and therapeutic modalities of pancreatic and biliary disease have changed significantly over the past decades with advancements in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS). Pancreaticobiliary (PB) endoscopy differentiates itself from luminal endoscopy with the use of fluoroscopy, side-viewing duodenoscopes, and echoendosonography.
ERCP and EUS were initially used as diagnostic procedures but have evolved primarily to function as therapeutic modalities. The 3 main areas of improvement in Pancreaticobiliary (PB) endoscopy has been scope technology, new therapeutic techniques and finally new accessories that have allowed greater range of procedures.
In the following presentation I will cover some of the new devices and techniques in endoscopy which helps provide a more comprehensive approach to complex Pncreaticobiliary (PB) issues.
