Cholangioscopy OR Spyglass Cholangioscopy
At Jivan Gastro and Gyneac Hospital, we are committed to providing state-of-the-art diagnostic and therapeutic services to our patients. As part of our comprehensive suite of advanced endoscopic procedures, we are pleased to offer Cholangioscopy, including the revolutionary Spyglass Cholangioscopy system.
What is Cholangioscopy?
Cholangioscopy is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure that allows for direct visualization of the bile ducts. It involves the insertion of a thin, flexible tube equipped with a miniature camera (cholangioscope) through the mouth or nose and into the bile ducts. This enables our gastroenterologists to examine the bile ducts in detail, diagnose various conditions, and perform targeted treatments when necessary.
The Spyglass Advantage
At Jivan Hospital, we utilize the Spyglass Cholangioscopy system, which represents the pinnacle of cholangioscopic technology. Spyglass provides unparalleled clarity and precision, allowing for enhanced visualization of even the smallest structures within the bile ducts. With its advanced imaging capabilities and maneuverability, Spyglass enables our gastroenterologists to perform intricate procedures with utmost accuracy and safety.
