Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

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, unexplained...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Arthroscopy is a well-established technique for diagnosing and treating shoulder conditions.
  • It provides novel surgical approaches for shoulder pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic and therapeutic applications of shoulder arthroscopy.
  • To detail the systematic visualization of the glenohumeral joint and subacromial space during arthroscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Shoulder arthroscopy is typically performed under general anesthesia or scalene block.
  • Patient positioning includes the lateral decubitus or beach chair position.
  • Diagnostic arthroscopy involves inserting an arthroscope via a posterior portal for glenohumeral joint visualization.

Main Results:

  • Systematic inspection of the glenohumeral joint visualizes articular surfaces, labrum, tendons, and ligaments.
  • Endoscopic visualization of the subacromial space is crucial for diagnosing impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tears, and other conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Shoulder arthroscopy is a valuable tool for both diagnosis and surgical treatment of shoulder injuries and diseases.
  • Comprehensive visualization of the glenohumeral and subacromial spaces is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
