Table 1 Practical considerations for pancreatoscopy
Practical considerations
The amount of contrast injected into the pancreatic duct does not interfere with the pancreatoscopy procedure
Intermittent fluoroscopic confirmation of the pancreatoscope's position is recommended
Maintain a collapsed duodenal lumen to reduce the amount of intraductal air
Aspirate intraluminal air to minimize the volume of fluid in the pancreatic duct
Avoid suctioning the pancreatic duct wall
Administer rectal diclofenac at the start of the procedure as prophylaxis for post-pancreatoscopy pancreatitis
