Table 1 Comparison of currently available single and dual operator cholangioscopies

	Endoscopists needed	Image quality	Tip deflection	Simultaneous irrigation and instrumentation	Fragility
Single operator (SpyGlass)	One	Moderate - good	4 way (up/down, left/right)	Yes	No¹
Dual operator
Fiberoptic cholangioscopies	Two	Moderate - good	2 way (up/down)	No	Yes
Video cholangioscopies	Two	Excellent	2 way (up/down)	No	Yes

¹All components of the spyglass system are single-use with the exception of the spyprobe (the light and image conveyor of the system) which is multi-use. The spyprobe is fragile and has to be handled with care.
