Abstract
Peroral Pancreatoscopy (POPS) is useful especially in the diagnosis of complicated cases with pancreatic stenosis or intraductal opacity as well as intraductal papillary mutinous neoplasm of the pancreas (IPMN). Practically, POPS requires more advanced techniques and need to care much about adverse events after the examination compared to a usual endscopy. Accordingly, both the careful consideration for the proper POPS indication and the acquisition of basic POPS technique is essential. However, POPS procedure is not more than the ERCP technique. Once acquired the basic technique of POPS, examiner should get used to it by the experience with various cases. We intend to describe in this manuscript concerning the basic technique of POPS and the cares about its procedure.
