Core Tip

Core Tip: Pancreatoscopy, a minimally invasive and highly specialized technique, enables direct visualization of the pancreatic duct, enhancing the diagnosis and management of conditions such as strictures and intraductal neoplasms. When integrated with therapeutic tools, it provides a powerful approach for complex interventions, significantly improving patient outcomes. Its increasing precision and ability to guide procedures such as stricture dilation and lithotripsy highlight its growing role in advanced pancreatic care.
