Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

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 V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

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.

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

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...

Summary

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a minimally invasive procedure. FESS is highly effective for treating nasal polyps and chronic sinusitis, with 94 cases performed between 2003 and 2005.

Area of Science:

Otolaryngology
Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) is a widely accepted minimally invasive technique.
It utilizes an endoscope to open sinus air cells and ostia.
The term "functional" differentiates it from conventional sinus procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the application and outcomes of FESS at TU Teaching Hospital.
To analyze the types of sinonasal conditions treated with FESS.

Main Methods:

Retrospective review of 94 FESS cases performed from March 2003 to December 2005.
Data collected on patient demographics and diagnoses.

Main Results:

Nasal polyps were the most common indication for FESS (80 patients).

Ethmoidal polyps (47 patients) and antrochoanal polyps (33 patients) were the primary types.

Other conditions included chronic maxillary sinusitis (8 patients), fungal sinusitis (5 patients), and inverted papilloma (1 patient).

Conclusions:

FESS is a frequently utilized and effective surgical option for various sinonasal pathologies.
Nasal polyps represent the predominant condition managed with FESS in this cohort.
