Özet

Objective: Intraoperative flexible choledochoscopy can help in the diagnosis and treatment of various biliary tract diseases by providing direct visualization of the bile ducts. This study discusses the role of choledochoscopy in diagnosing and treating most diseases of the hepato-biliary-pancreatic system particularly in patients in whom laparotomy with or without choledochotomy is planned or performed and in whom ERCP, MRCP, or other advanced techniques are not applied, deficient or unsuccessful.
