Surgeon-led, zero-X-ray ERCP and cholangioscopy

One Team, One Room, One Strategy

ERCP and cholangioscopy are ways to treat the bile duct through the mouth with a flexible scope. I do them with zero X-ray (fluoroscopy-free). It is a one-stop approach: one plan, one session, and a built-in back-up to help keep it safe and shorten total operating time.

The approach, in three parts

One Team

The surgeon leads the whole procedure, with one team from start to finish.

One Room

Everything happens in the operating room, under a single anesthesia.

One Strategy

In the same operation, if the endoscopic approach can’t be completed, the team can switch right away to laparoscopic surgery.
