The development of small-diameter flexible endoscopes has expanded the role of biliary endoscopy to include percutaneous interventions. Percutaneous biliary endoscopy is a technique that is easily learned. The equipment for percutaneous biliary endoscopy is readily available since most hospitals have an appropriate-sized choledochoscope and light source for intraoperative use. Therefore, the initial capital costs associated with flexible biliary endoscopy are minimal. Percutaneous biliary endoscopy in the interventional radiology suite is an ideal arrangement to facilitate a wide variety of biliary diagnostic and interventional procedures.
小直径柔性内镜的发展扩大了胆道内镜检查的作用，使其包括经皮介入治疗。经皮胆道内镜检查是一种易于掌握的技术。经皮胆道内镜检查所需设备很容易获得，因为大多数医院都有适合术中使用的胆总管镜和光源。因此，与柔性胆道内镜检查相关的初始资金成本极低。在介入放射科进行经皮胆道内镜检查是一种理想的安排，便于开展各种胆道诊断和介入手术。
