Description
Kenichi Haneda, Akihisa Kato, and Michihiro Yoshida report a technique case in 2026 on removing bile duct stones when normal access fails. Their patient, an 86-year-old woman, had past stomach surgery that rebuilt her gut and blocked the usual route. She developed an infected duct blocked by stones.
Working through a path made with ultrasound guidance, the team found their tools bent in the winding duct and lost push. A wide sheath held the tools straight and restored force, letting them push the stones out. The report shows a fix other endoscopy teams can borrow for hard anatomy.
