< Overview by chairs >
In recent years, biliary endoscopy has become able to perform the EUS-guided approach in addition to the ERCP-guided approach, and it has become possible to provide medical care to patients more than ever. Furthermore, the development of various devices has been remarkable, and it has become an indispensable technique in the diagnosis and treatment of biliary diseases. For ERCP-related procedures, EPLBD, balloon assisted-enteroscope ERCP, single-operator and disposable POCS, newly-EHL, intra-bile duct RFA, novel biliary stent, and trans-gastrointestinal biliary approach using the interventional EUS technique have been developed. In addition, due to recent advances in genomic research, the possibility of precision medicine using specimens collected under ERCP or EUS has become a reality. On the other hand, some devices that can be used are insufficient, and since advanced techniques are required, they are becoming highly specialized techniques. In this session, we would like to share the cutting edge of biliary endoscopy with domestic and foreign teachers. We expect many submissions, including a small number of cases.
Symposium 2: Current Status and Perspective of Biliary Drainage
< Overview by chairs >
Development of various devices and techniques for biliary drainage has improved its outcomes. Although plastic stents were previously used during preoperative biliary drainage for distal biliary obstruction, metal stents have recently been employed in patients receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy for longer stent patency. For hilar biliary obstruction, there remain controversial issues about drainage methods: percutaneous vs endoscopic; unilateral vs bilateral; plastic vs metal stent; stent-in-stent vs side-by-side. Balloon enteroscopy or EUS play an important role in case of difficult biliary obstruction including surgical altered anatomy. PTGBD is recommended as the first-line drainage in cases of high risk of early cholecystectomy, while recent development of endoscopic drainage techniques have allowed to extend their indications. In this session, we discuss current status and perspective of biliary drainage sharing new evidences.

< Overview by chairs >
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for gallstone is the first established standard treatment of choice in the field of general and gastroenterological surgeries. And further novel approaches are still investigated to enhance the safety of operation, for example, a scope facilitating intraoperative navigation of anatomical landmarks using AI is under development. Although laparoscopic surgery for congenital biliary dilatation is approved by Japanese insurance system, perihilar bilioenteric anastomosis is technically demanding, thereby robotic surgery is promising. On the other hand, indication of laparoscopic or robotic surgery (MIS) for biliary malignancies is limited to pancreatoduodenectomy for distal bile duct cancer and carcinoma of the papilla Vater at present time in Japan. Furthermore, MIS for other biliary malignancies are still challenging. In this symposium, institutional approaches for technical innovations, newly designed instruments and/or surgical systems, and teaching curriculum for MIS is welcomed as subject of debate.
