Background/Aims: Digital single-operator cholangioscopy (dSOC) has revolutionized bile duct visualization. Interventions like electrohydraulic or laser lithotripsy, inspection of suspicious areas, and targeted biopsies have become possible quick and easy. One main indication for dSOC remains the evaluation of indeterminate biliary strictures. Objective and Methods: We analyzed 180 consecutive dSOCs procedures performed in a high-volume tertiary center to evaluate sensitivity, specificity as well as positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV) for indeterminate strictures. Furthermore, technical success and complications were analyzed. Results: In 92-97%, the region of interest was reached and successfully visualized. In 83-100%, targeted biopsies were obtained from the suspicious area. Only the distal bile duct was less successful with only 84 and 62%, respectively. In general, dSOC procedures were safe. Cholangitis was the main complication. Regarding the diagnostic accuracy of dSOC of indeterminate biliary strictures, we found a sensitivity of 0.87 and specificity of 0.88, over all. Within the whole cohort, the investigators' assessment directly after dSOC had a PPV of 0.63 and a NPV of 0.97. In patients with biliary lesions or stenosis suspicious for malignancy, the dSOC-based visual diagnosis revealed a very high diagnostic accuracy with sensitivity and specificity of 1.0 (95% CI 0.86-1.0) and 0.76 (95% CI 0.56-0.9) with a PPV of 0.77 (95% CI 0.59-0.9) and a high NPV of 1.0 (95% CI 0.85-1.0). Conclusions: Our study demonstrates that dSOC has a high diagnostic accuracy as well as a favorable safety profile. Therefore, dSOC should be discussed as standard of care during endoscopic retrograde cholangiography for indeterminate biliary lesions.
