The study aimed to evaluate the Ambu aScope3 for common bile duct explorations, specifically focusing on stone detection and extraction in a low-volume center.
The research involved a prospective dual-center study from February 2015 to August 2019, with ethical approval and patient counseling before procedures.
Results indicated satisfactory views in 8 out of 9 patients, with successful stone extraction in 6 cases, supporting the aScope as a safe and financially viable alternative to traditional methods.
