[Endoscopy in non-neoplastic cholestasis].
The role of endoscopic treatment of cholestasis is well codified as an alternative or adjuvant therapy to surgery, particularly in those cases where non malignant cause has been identified. Non-neoplastic cholestasis therefore benefits very substantially from endoscopic treatment in a context where the traditional surgical approach presents limitations in terms of morbidity and mortality. It should be borne in mind, however, that the two approaches are strictly complementary for the correct management of these patients.
