Description
Draining a blocked bile duct through an endoscope is standard care, unless surgery has rearranged the gut. Marco Spadaccini and co-authors review that harder problem in a 2023 article. Weight-loss operations and pancreas surgery increasingly leave anatomies where the usual side-viewing scope cannot reach the duct's opening.
The review walks through the work-arounds. Forward-viewing scopes with caps and long enteroscopes can sometimes complete the classic procedure, but they are slow and technically demanding. Ultrasound-guided approaches have changed the field most, letting doctors drain the duct through new routes, including a rendezvous method where two approaches meet. Older fallbacks, drainage through the skin or open surgery, remain in reserve. The authors map which technique fits which altered anatomy.
