Summary

The aim of this review article is to describe the current possibilities of endoscopy for examination of the biliary tract and pancreatic duct, introduce the current terminology, and report basic endoscopic findings. Radical technological change is the transition from a system dominated by two endoscopists („dual operator“) to „single operator“ technology. The basic diagnostic indication for cholangioscopy is still indeterminate biliary tract stenosis, and the most significant therapeutic indication is lithotripsy of difficult choledocholithiasis.

Keywords
