Abstract
Choledochoscopy technology has realized the direct observation of bile duct lesions, and can be loaded with a variety of special accessories to perform the corresponding diagnosis and treatment operations, and has become an important means for the diagnosis of unexplained bile duct stricture and treatment of refractory bile duct stones. With the further enhancement of the imaging quality and operability, the clinical application of choledochoscopy has gradually expanded to the precise positioning of cholangiocarcinoma before surgical resection, the drainage of the gallbladder through the nipple, the removal of the displaced bile duct stent and other fields. This paper briefly reviewed the historical evolution of choledochoscopy and reviewed the latest clinical advances of oral choledochoscopy in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary tract diseases.
