Olympus reviewed the following literature titled "effect of mapping biopsy on surgical management of cholangiocarcinoma" by kojiro taura et al.This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the role of endoscopic transpapillary mapping biopsy (mb) in determining the surgical indication and procedure, and its effect on surgical radicality regarding the bile duct (bd) margin for cholangiocarcinoma (cca) patients.A total of 115 mb procedures were performed in 80 patients who underwent tumor resection.The study reported that 60 (75.0%) patients tolerated mb without any complications except pancreatitis observed in 20 (25.0%) patients.The incidence of bile leakage was significantly lower in the mb group in both the anastomotic site (5.0% vs.16.3%) and the parenchymal surface.The study concluded mb was safe and efficacious in selecting optimal surgical procedures for cholangiocarcinoma.The authors used multiple olympus devices and did not specify the devices used in relation to the adverse events experienced.Therefore, all olympus devices will be reported for the following adverse events: postoperatively, patients had mild, moderate and severe pancreatitis, post-hepatectomy liver failure, bile leakage at the anastomotic site, the parenchymal surface, and at a pancreatic fistula.This article includes 5 reports.(b)(6) - tjf-240; (b)(6) - tjf-260; (b)(6) - fb-45q-1; (b)(6) - e634044; (b)(6) - chf-b260.This is report 2 of 5 for: (b)(6) - tjf-260.
