• Background/Purpose Compared with currently available duodenoscopy‐assisted systems, direct peroral cholangioscopy (DPOC) using an ultra‐slim endoscope is limited by technical difficulties. The multibending (MB) ultra‐slim endoscope was introduced as a dedicated cholangioscope for DPOC to challenge the technical problem. We retrospectively analyzed the clinical utility of DPOC using an MB endoscope with free‐hand insertion into the bile duct in patients with biliary diseases. Methods A total of 145 patients who underwent DPOC using an MB endoscope were analyzed. The primary outcome was the technical success rate of DPOC using the free‐hand insertion of the MB endoscope. The secondary outcomes were the technical success rates of DPOC‐guided diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, the diagnostic accuracy of DPOC‐guided target biopsy, and adverse events related to DPOC. Results Free‐hand biliary insertion of a MB endoscope for DPOC was technically successful in 133 patients (91.7%). DPOC‐guided target biopsy was successful in 36 of 38 patients (94.7%) and had a diagnostic accuracy of 91.7% (95% confidence interval, 82.6‐100). Sixty‐nine therapeutic interventions were performed; technical success was achieved in 65 (94.2%). No severe adverse events were observed. Conclusions The MB ultra‐slim endoscope was technically effective to perform a DPOC including various diagnosis and therapeutic interventions without device assistance. MB endoscope is considered to contribute to expanding a role of DPOC in diagnosis and treatment of diverse biliary tract diseases.
