NCT ID NCT07285447
First seen Jan 04, 2026 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study looked at 75 patients in Nepal who had bile duct stones removed using a reused Ambu aScope, a cheap disposable scope normally used for breathing tubes. The goal was to see if reusing it is safe and effective in low-resource settings where expensive scopes aren't available. Researchers checked how often the scope gave a clear view, how often all stones were removed, and how often complications like injury or infection occurred.
