Indirect peroral cholangiopancreatoscopy (IPOC) is a relatively new diagnostic and therapeutic tool for biliopancreatic diseases. This international survey aimed to evaluate clinical practice patterns in IPOC among endoscopists in Europe. An online survey was developed comprising 66 questions on the use of IPOC. Questions were grouped into four domains. The survey was sent to 369 endoscopists who perform IPOC. 86 respondents (23.3 %) from 21 different countries across Europe completed the survey. The main indications for cholangioscopy were determination of biliary strictures (85 [98.8 %]) and removal of common bile duct or intrahepatic duct stones (79 [91.9 %]), accounting for an estimated use of 40 % (interquartile range [IQR] 25-50) and 40 % (IQR 30-60), respectively, of all cases undergoing cholangioscopy. Pancreatoscopy was mainly used for removal of pancreatic duct stones (68/76 [89.5 %]), accounting for an estimated use of 76.5 % (IQR 50-95) of all cases undergoing pancreatoscopy. Only 13/85 respondents (15.3 %) had an institutional standardized protocol for targeted cholangioscopy-guided biopsy sampling. IPOC with lithotripsy was used as first-line treatment in selected patients with bile duct stones or pancreatic stones by 24/79 (30.4 %) and 53/68 (77.9 %) respondents, respectively. This first European survey on the clinical practice of IPOC demonstrated wide variation in experience, indications, and techniques. These results emphasize the need for prospective studies and development of an international consensus guideline to standardize the practice and quality of IPOC.
间接经口胆管胰管镜检查(IPOC)是一种用于胆胰疾病的相对较新的诊断和治疗工具。这项国际调查旨在评估欧洲内镜医师在IPOC方面的临床实践模式。开展了一项在线调查,包含66个关于IPOC使用情况的问题。问题分为四个领域。该调查发送给了369名进行IPOC的内镜医师。来自欧洲21个不同国家的86名受访者(23.3%)完成了调查。胆管镜检查的主要适应证是确定胆管狭窄(85例[98.8%])和取出胆总管或肝内胆管结石(79例[91.9%]),分别占所有接受胆管镜检查病例的估计使用比例为40%(四分位间距[IQR]25 - 50)和40%(IQR 30 - 60)。胰管镜检查主要用于取出胰管结石(68/76例[89.5%]),占所有接受胰管镜检查病例的估计使用比例为76.5%(IQR 50 - 95)。只有13/85名受访者(15.3%)有机构标准化的靶向胆管镜引导活检采样方案。对于选定的胆管结石或胰管结石患者,分别有24/79名(30.4%)和53/68名(77.9%)受访者将IPOC联合碎石术用作一线治疗。这项关于IPOC临床实践的首次欧洲调查表明,在经验、适应证和技术方面存在很大差异。这些结果强调了进行前瞻性研究以及制定国际共识指南以规范IPOC实践和质量的必要性。
