Procedure of Spyglass Cholangioscopy in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai

The procedure is typically performed by a gastroenterologist or interventional endoscopist and is commonly used to diagnose and treat various conditions affecting the bile ducts. Here is a general outline of the procedure:

1. Patient Preparation: The patient is typically sedated to ensure comfort during the procedure. The patient may be asked to fast for a certain period before the procedure.
2. Endoscope Insertion: A conventional endoscope is first inserted through the mouth and into the stomach and duodenum. The papilla (the opening where the bile duct and pancreatic duct enter the duodenum) is identified.
3. Guide Wire Placement: A guide wire is passed through the working channel of the endoscope and directed into the bile duct.
4. Spyglass Cholangioscopy Insertion: The Spyglass cholangioscope, a thin and flexible tube with a camera at the tip, is passed over the guide wire and into the bile duct.
5. Visualization: The camera at the tip of the Spyglass allows the physician to directly visualize the inside of the bile ducts and pancreatic duct on a monitor. The physician can inspect for any abnormalities, such as stones, strictures, tumors, or other lesions.
6. Removal of Spyglass: Once the procedure is completed, the Spyglass cholangioscope is carefully removed.
