Abstract
GOMEZ, Martín Alonso; RUIZ, Óscar Fernando and FERNANDEZ, Hernando Marulanda. Usefulness of Direct Cholangiopancreatoscopy for Management of Pancreatic Calculi: Case Study (with video). Rev Col Gastroenterol [online]. 2019, vol.34, n.1, pp.73-75. ISSN 0120-9957. https://doi.org/10.22516/25007440.357.
We present the case of a patient with chronic pancreatitis. After finding a cystic lesion in the main pancreatic duct, the patient underwent direct cholangioscopy using the SpyGlass DS System. A large impacted calculus and pseudocyst formation was found in the head of the pancreas. Laser lithotripsy was used to extract the entire calculus and symptomatic remission was achieved.
Keywords : Cholangioscopy; Spyglass; pseudocyst; lithotripsy.
