SpyGlass Surgical Study

January 7, 2025 updated by: Boston Scientific Corporation

Intraoperative Endoscopy Using a Thin, Single-Use, Flexible Cholangiopancreatoscope

  • To document the clinical utility of diagnostic and/or therapeutic intraoperative endoscopy using a thin, single-use, flexible cholangiopancreatoscope
  • To identify specific surgical procedures in which intraoperative use of a thin, single use, flexible cholangiopancreatoscope suggests clinically meaningful benefit and generate a hypothesis for possible subsequent claims-supportive study

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This case series aims to document the clinical utility of intraoperative endoscopy using a thin, disposable, flexible cholangiopancreatoscope in procedures including but not limited to:

  • Evaluation of biliary lesion(s) during surgical management of common bile duct (CBD) and intrahepatic duct (IHD) strictures, with or without biopsy
  • Transcystic/transcholedochal clearance of biliary stone(s)/sludge/cast with or without mechanical, electrohydraulic or laser lithotripsy
  • Treatment of hepatolithiasis
  • Assessment of communication between the biliary tree and the cyst in the setting of ruptured hydatid parasitic cysts or abcesses
  • Visualization of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasm (IPMN) lesion(s) with or without biopsy
  • Assessment of pancreatic duct (PD) strictures in chronic pancreatitis, with or without biopsy
