Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Brett Peterson from Mayo Clinic demonstrates the use of a disposable duodenoscope for an ERCP procedure on a patient with pancreatic cancer. The patient initially presented with painless jaundice and pruritus and was found to have pancreatic adenocarcinoma. He underwent various procedures including placement of biliary stents and gallbladder drainage. The video shows the removal of a bare metal stent and the presence of stones in the bile duct. Dr. Peterson discusses the use of the disposable duodenoscope, its advantages, and the need for caution when using it in difficult areas. The discussion also touches on the effectiveness of sterilization techniques, the reduction in infections due to improved practices, and the potential future advancements in single-use scopes.
