Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Successfull evaluation of the whole common bile duct during cholangioscopy. A successfull procedure is defined as a cholangioscopy with advancement of the endoscope up to the hilar bifurcation or to the stenotc segment within the bile duct

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.) time requirements for procedure (measurement with a clock) 2.) Perinterventionall complications (cholanguitis, perforation) 3.) Time for intubation of the bile duct 4.) Correlation between endoscopic prediction of intraductal stenoses and histological assessment.
