Abstract: BACKGROUND Single-operator peroral cholangioscopy (sPOCS) is considered a valuable diagnostic modality for indeterminate biliary strictures. Nevertheless, studies show large variation in its characteristics and measures of diagnostic accuracy. Our aim was to estimate the diagnostic… read more here.

DOI: 10.5946/ce.2019.011
Abstract: Biliary strictures are considered indeterminate when the initial radiologic evaluation and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with brush cytology and/or forceps biopsy do not reveal diagnostic findings. Evaluation of these strictures is challenging and often requires a… read more here.
