The value of direct visualization

spyscope DS II CU

The SpyGlass DS System enables high resolution imaging and therapy during an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) procedure to target biopsies and fragment stones.1

​Previous research has demonstrated that visual impression of the stricture can also help guide patient management.2-4

A 2019 study examined the role of digital cholangiopancreatoscopy technology in mapping the extent of malignant involvement in the biliary or pancreatic ducts before surgical intervention. Through an analysis of 118 patients, it demonstrated that the surgical plan was altered in 34% of cases when using direct visualization with the SpyGlass™ DS System.5

85%

In a clinical study of 298 patients, clinical management was altered in 85% of patients undergoing diagnostic ERCP with Cholangioscopy.6

89%

Demonstrated 89% stone clearance after a single ERCP session may allow patients to avoid repeat endoscopic interventions or more invasive procedures to treat difficult biliary and pancreatic stones.7

 In a study, it was suggested SpyGlass DS could help reduce number of repeat procedures, hence reducing the overall expenditure of hospitals.8
