See Why Our Patients Love GO-SCOPE!

- JB

I’m a 53-year-old man living in Shanghai, and I spent nearly a decade searching for a way to remove my gallstone without removing my gallbladder. Despite repeated recommendations for cholecystectomy, I held firm in my belief that lifestyle changes—not surgery—were the real solution. After years of fruitless research and worsening symptoms, I finally discovered the GO-SCOPE procedure through ChatGPT in 2024.

Following a severe gallbladder attack, I traveled to the U.S. and met with the interventional radiology team in January 2025. They patiently answered all my questions, and I underwent the GO-SCOPE procedure shortly after. Recovery was quick—I was up and walking the next day and never needed pain medication. Two weeks later, my drainage tube was removed painlessly.

- RB

Due to the GO-SCOPE procedure, I was able to have my numerous gallstones removed, and keep my gallbladder. I tried various holistic attempts to treat my condition; unfortunately, nothing worked. I knew, in the back of my mind, that I would eventually need to have my gallbladder removed. Fortunately, from my search, I made contact with the GO- SCOPE Team. They provided me with lots of information and also answered all of my questions. I don’t have any gallstone and I have peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions GO-SCOPE

What is GO‐SCOPE?
GO‐SCOPE is a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure for gallstone removal that preserves the gallbladder. By using percutaneous cholangioscopy and advanced lithotripsy techniques, GO‐SCOPE effectively eliminates gallstones without the need for traditional surgery.

Access: A small percutaneous (through the skin) entry is created to access the gallbladder.

Visualization: Advanced imaging and cholangioscopic tools are used to locate and visualize gallstones.

Stone Removal: Lithotripsy methods—such as dual-energy or electrohydraulic—fragment the stones, which are then removed via a large-bore sheath.

Post-Procedure: A temporary cholecystostomy tube may be used to ensure decompression and tract maturation, with many patients discharged within 24 hours.

Elective Patients: Individuals who are candidates for cholecystectomy but prefer to preserve their gallbladder.

High-Risk Patients: Those with calculous cholecystitis who are poor surgical candidates due to underlying health issues.

Patients Seeking Faster Recovery: Individuals looking for a minimally invasive alternative with shorter hospital stays and rapid symptom relief.

Gallbladder Preservation: Maintains the natural function of your gallbladder.

Minimally Invasive: Reduces surgical risks and trauma.

High Success Rate: Clinical studies report a 100% technical success rate in single-session procedures.

Short Recovery Time: Most patients experience significant improvement and can return home within 24 hours.

How do I get started?
If you’re interested in learning more about GO‐SCOPE or scheduling a consultation, please contact our specialist team. Our experts will review your medical history, answer any questions you may have, and determine if GO‐SCOPE is the right choice for your gallstone management.
Clinical evidence demonstrates that GO‐SCOPE is a safe procedure with very few complications. As with any medical procedure, risks exist, but extensive studies have shown minimal adverse events when performed by experienced specialists.

Traditional Cholecystectomy: Complete removal of the gallbladder via surgery.

Conservative Management: Use of medications like ursodiol and lifestyle modifications.
GO‐SCOPE offers an innovative alternative that avoids surgery while effectively removing gallstones, offering both safety and efficacy.

If new gallstones develop, GO-SCOPE can be repeated safely, though maintaining a healthy lifestyle helps prevent recurrence.
