Abstract in brief

A novel tube-assisted biopsy (TAB) technique was developed as a cost-effective alternative to single-operator cholangioscopy (SOC) for diagnosing indeterminate pancreaticobiliary strictures, with high success and accuracy rates.
In a review of 16 patients, TAB demonstrated a technical success rate of 93.7%, with sensitivity, specificity, and overall accuracy of 87.5%, 100%, and 93.7%, respectively, and no serious adverse events were reported.
TAB offers a safe and reliable diagnostic option, especially in cases where SOC is unavailable or limited by accessory constraints, making it a potentially valuable tool in clinical practice.
