Summary

This study looked at reusing a cheap, disposable scope (Ambu aScope) for bile duct stone removal in Nepal, where expensive scopes are often unavailable. Researchers reviewed records of 75 patients who had this surgery between 2022 and 2024. They checked how often the scope gave a clear view, how often all stones were removed, and if any complications occurred from reusing the scope.
