Our approach is backed by a growing body of clinical research that highlights the safety, efficacy, and patient benefits of the GO‐SCOPE procedure.
Proven strong safety profile with no major procedure‐related complications reported across clinical trials. A 100% technical success rate in single-session gallstone removal has been consistently achieved.
Multiple prospective studies show that GO‐SCOPE delivers significant symptom relief compared to traditional management, with patients achieving a stone-free status on follow-up imaging. Comparative analyses indicate superior outcomes in reducing biliary colic and improving gallbladder function.
Sustained improvements in patient function and pain relief have been observed, with benefits maintained at both short-term and long-term follow-up (up to 1 year or more). Patients enjoy lasting quality-of-life improvements following a single GO‐SCOPE treatment.
Consistent, high-quality results have been reproduced across a range of clinical settings—from academic centers to typical community practices. The procedure’s reproducibility ensures that patients receive reliable, standardized care regardless of where the treatment is performed.
This robust clinical evidence underscores the GO‐SCOPE procedure as a leading, minimally invasive option for gallstone removal and gallbladder preservation
Patient Profile: Patients with calculous biliary colic who are candidates for cholecystectomy choose GO‐SCOPE to preserve their gallbladder.
100% technical success rate in single-session stone removal
Mean hospital stay of approximately 23 hours
Significant post-procedural symptom reduction
Transhepatic or de novo gallbladder access
Use of dual-energy or electrohydraulic lithotripsy for stone fragmentation
Patient Profile: Individuals with calculous cholecystitis who are poor surgical candidates benefit from a minimally invasive, image-guided approach.
Outcomes:
100% technical success in single-session removal
Rapid symptom resolution and pain relief
Minimal adverse events and a mean hospital stay of 1 day
Procedure Highlights:
Large-bore cholangioscopy-assisted extraction
Upsizing of indwelling accesses to 24–30 French sheaths
Use of advanced lithotripsy techniques (including ShockPulse rigid lithotripsy)
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.
