Cholangioscopy is commonly used to diagnose and manage the following bile duct conditions:

Difficult or complex bile duct stones
Bile duct strictures or narrowing
Bile duct tumors or growths
Evaluation of unexplained bile duct blockages
Targeted biopsies for accurate diagnosis

The procedure allows direct visualization of the bile ducts, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment.
