Percutaneous cholangioscopy was performed on 270 patients with biliary disease at Trung Vuong Emergency Center in HCM city. The endoscope was inserted into the bile ducts through either a T-tube tract 187 cases or a percutaneous transhepatic tract 83 cases. Indications included cholelithiasis in 262 patients, common hepatic duct stricture after cholecystectomy in 3, and suspected malignant biliary obstruction in 5. Interventional maneuvers included electrohydraulic lithotripsy, extraction of stones and ascaris, dilatation of bile duct stricture, libiary cutaneous stenting, and biliary biopsy

Newly introduced direct peroral cholangioscopy and the development of video choledochoscopes have enabled more defined observation of bile duct mucosal lesions with clearer images. Narrow-band imaging (NBI) is a unique endoscopic imaging technology that provides enhanced endoscopic images of surface mucosal structures and its superficial microvessels. Advanced cholangioscopy and NBI are expected to be useful for precise evaluation and correct diagnosis of biliary tract diseases. However, the diagnostic value of advanced bile duct imaging with cholangioscopy requires further evaluation.

Biliary tract diseases have always been one of the important indications for liver transplantation. These biliary tract diseases include congenital atresia of biliary duct, biliary diseases with tendency of malignant transformation, malignant biliary diseases, primary biliary cirrhosis, and secondary biliary cirrhosis. The right time to consider liver transplantation for the above biliary diseases includes situations when transplantation is the only approach to treat the disease, the only effective approach to treat the disease, or one of the effective approaches to treat the disease. Currently there is still no commonly accepted pre-operative evaluation standard for biliary disease-related liver transplantation. However, it is important to obey the following principles. First, the diagnosis should be confirmed; secondary, the necessity or urgency of the liver transplantation should be clarified; and third, the patient and his/her family should understand the whole procedure of transplantation the risk and advantage of the surgery, and the potential life-long intake of immunosuppressors. This article will briefly review all these relavant issues based on the authors' personal experience and clinical cases.

To investigate the diagnostic accuracy of ERCP in pancreatobiliary disease, the authors analysed the 1,244 cases of ERCP. The success rate of ERCP was 91.5%. The diagnostic accuracy of ERCP was 93.6% and complications occurred in 2.1%. Complications included pancreatitis,cholangitis and drug reactions. Among the biliary tract disease diagnosed, by ERCP, biliary tract stone was the most common finding. Compared with operative diagnosis of biliary tract stones,the sensitivity of ERCP diagnosis was 92.7% while that of sonographic diagnosis was 81.4%. The specificity of ERCP diagnosis was 94.4% while that of sonagraphic diagnosis was 80.9%. ln the diagnosis of common bile duct stones, ERCP was more accurrate than sonographic diagnosis. The results show that ERCP was a safe and effective diagnostic tool in the assessment of pancreatobiliary tract disease.
