A disposable choledochoscope with built-in thulium laser
By integrating a thulium laser module and an independent instrument channel into the cholangioscope, stone fragmentation and other procedures can be performed simultaneously, solving the operational conflict problem caused by the thulium laser probe occupying the channel in the existing technology, and improving surgical efficiency and safety.

AI Technical Summary
The existing cholangioscopes, because the thulium laser probe occupies the only instrument channel, cause conflicts between stone fragmentation and other surgical procedures, prolonging operation time, increasing surgical risks and reducing the convenience of operation.
Design a disposable cholangioscope with built-in thulium laser. The front end of the endoscope integrates a thulium laser module and an independent instrument channel. The thulium laser probe is retractable, and the camera module is independently arranged, enabling simultaneous operation of stone fragmentation, stone suction, and stone removal.
This reduces the number of procedure changes, shortens the operation time, lowers the risk of bile duct wall damage, and improves operational convenience and surgical efficiency.
