Endoscopy·2009

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Surgical Endoscopy

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures are common, with surgeons often involved in managing patient complications.
  • This review covers complications associated with upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the incidence, prevention, and treatment of potential complications following major gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures.
  • To inform healthcare professionals, including gastroenterologists and surgeons, about managing endoscopic procedure risks.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing medical literature.

Main Results:

  • Preprocedural risks include medication side effects and bowel preparation issues.
  • Major procedural complications encompass perforation and hemorrhage.
  • Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy placement carries risks of fistula and obstruction; infectious disease transmission is also a concern.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic procedures, while invasive, have associated risks.
  • Many complications can be avoided through skilled practice and proactive management.
  • Early recognition and intervention are key to successful patient outcomes.
