Cholangioscopy: Diagnosis and Management of Biliary Disease
Cholangioscopy is an advanced endoscopic technique used for diagnosing and managing biliary diseases. It involves the insertion of a tiny camera into the bile duct to visualize and evaluate abnormalities. This procedure aids in the diagnosis of conditions like bile duct stones, strictures, and tumors. Cholangioscopy allows for direct visualization, biopsy, and therapeutic interventions in the bile ducts. It offers higher sensitivity and specificity compared to traditional imaging modalities in detecting biliary pathologies. Through cholangioscopy, precise and targeted treatments such as stone removal or stent placement can be performed. It plays a crucial role in guiding therapeutic decisions and optimizing patient outcomes. Cholangioscopy reduces the need for exploratory surgeries by providing detailed insights into biliary anatomy and pathology. Recent advancements in cholangioscopy technology have enhanced its diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities. Overall, cholangioscopy is a valuable tool in the comprehensive management of various biliary diseases, offering both diagnostic clarity and therapeutic interventions.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Hepatic Regeneration After Hepatectomy
Hepatic regeneration after hepatectomy is a dynamic process where the liver rapidly repairs and regenerates its tissue by activating hepatocytes and liver progenitor cells. This regenerative ability is essential for restoring liver function and maintaining homeostasis following partial liver resection or injury.
Fluorescence Guided Breast Cancer Surgery
Fluorescence-guided breast cancer surgery uses fluorescent dyes, such as indocyanine green (ICG), to illuminate cancerous tissues and lymph nodes, aiding surgeons in precisely identifying and removing tumors. This technique improves surgical outcomes by enhancing the visualization of cancerous areas, reducing the chances of leaving residual cancer cells behind.
