Cholangioscopy (SpyGlass)
कोलांगियोस्कोपी (स्पाइग्लास पित्त नली जांच)
स्पाइग्लास कोलांगियोस्कोपी (SpyGlass Cholangioscopy) एक अत्याधुनिक चिकित्सा तकनीक है जिसमें पित्त नली (bile duct) के अंदर एक सूक्ष्म कैमरा डालकर सीधे आंखों से देखा जाता है। सामान्य एंडोस्कोपी या ईआरसीपी में हम केवल एक्स-रे पर परछाई (shadow) देखते हैं, लेकिन स्पाइग्लास तकनीक के जरिए डॉक्टर पित्त नली के अंदर की पथरी, रुकावट या कैंसर को रंगीन वीडियो स्क्रीन पर लाइव देख सकते हैं और लेजर द्वारा बड़ी पथरियों को तोड़ सकते हैं।

Understanding the Clinical Value of Cholangioscopy (SpyGlass)
Dr. Akhilesh Yadav recommends SpyGlass Cholangioscopy for patients with giant, impacted bile duct stones. By utilizing laser lithotripsy (EHL/ISL) directly through the scope, we can break large stones into tiny sand-like particles without surgery.

Walkthrough of the clinical steps taken during a Cholangioscopy (SpyGlass) procedure.
Anesthesia Delivery
You are given deep IV sedation or general anesthesia for safety and absolute comfort.
ERCP Scope Setup
First, a standard ERCP scope is passed to the opening of the bile duct in the duodenum.
SpyGlass Probe Insertion
The ultra-thin SpyGlass cholangioscope (only 3.5mm thick) is passed through the ERCP scope directly into the bile duct.
Direct Visual Therapy
