Abstrakt: The treatment of lithiasis in patients with biliodigestive bypass can be controversial. The combination of percutaneous access together with cholangioscopy is an alternative to surgical treatment for the management of this pathology. In recent years, the appearance of smaller and more flexible fiber-optic cholangioscopes as well as the possibility to perform lithotripsy have changed the treatment of this pathology, providing good results. After our experience, we believe that cholangioscopy assisted by a percutaneous approach is a safe technique, with few complications and early recovery for patients in whom it is not possible to perform endoscopic management.
