Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

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...
Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

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: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

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 Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

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...

Standardization of Basket Use in Sialendoscopy: A Ten-Year Retrospective Study

Published on: June 6, 2025

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Obstructive salivary gland disease is a common condition.
  • Sialolithiasis, strictures, and mucous plugs are primary causes.
  • Sialoendoscopy offers a novel approach to diagnosis and treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the early clinical experience with sialoendoscopy.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of endoscopic salivary duct exploration and sialolithectomy.
  • To assess outcomes in patients with obstructive salivary gland disease.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of 94 patients with submandibular or parotid sialadenitis.
  • Sialoendoscopy performed at two medical centers.
  • Utilized various endoscopic tools for stone fragmentation/removal, stricture dilation, and mucous plug extraction under general anesthesia.

Main Results:

  • Successful salivary duct navigation in 91/94 patients.
  • Symptomatic relief achieved in 89.4% of patients.
  • High success rate (84.93%) for sialolith fragmentation or retrieval; 100% for strictures and mucous plugs.

Conclusions:

  • Interventional sialoendoscopy is an effective treatment for obstructive salivary gland disease.
  • It represents a minimally invasive alternative to traditional surgical methods.
  • Early clinical experience demonstrates its feasibility and positive patient outcomes.
