Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

512
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.9K
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

This study reviews 10 years of CT-guided stereotactic brain surgeries, performing 811 procedures. The findings highlight a low complication rate of 0.37% for these neurosurgical interventions.

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Neuroradiology
  • Medical Technology

Background:

  • CT-guided stereotaxy has become a crucial technique in neurosurgery.
  • A comprehensive review of stereotactic procedures over a decade provides valuable insights into its application and outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an overview of CT-guided stereotactic procedures performed over the last 10 years.
  • To analyze the types of procedures, their frequency, and associated complication rates.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of all CT-guided stereotactic brain operations performed at University Hospital Olomouc over a 10-year period.
  • Categorization of procedures into functional and non-functional stereotaxy, including biopsies, hematoma evacuations, and thalamotomies.

Main Results:

  • A total of 811 stereotactic brain operations were performed, with 710 in non-functional and 101 in functional stereotaxy.
  • The most common procedures were biopsies (n=464), intracerebral hematoma evacuations (n=147), and thalamotomies for Parkinson's disease (n=88).
  • The annual number of procedures ranged from 66-106, with a mean of 86.9, and serious complications occurred in only 0.37% of cases.

Conclusions:

  • CT-guided stereotaxy is a safe and effective neurosurgical modality with a low complication rate.
  • The data supports the continued use and potential expansion of stereotactic techniques for various intracranial conditions.
