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 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 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 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 II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Endoscopy
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS)-guided interventions are crucial for advanced therapeutic measures in modern gastroenterology.
  • Longitudinal EUS scanners enable transluminal puncture of mediastinal and abdominal lesions inaccessible by other methods.
  • EUS-guided puncture facilitates safer, more efficient endoscopic interventions with lower complication rates than conventional or surgical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the indispensable role of EUS-guided interventions in complex therapeutic measures.
  • To emphasize the advantages of EUS-guidance in treating pancreatic pseudocysts, abscesses, and necroses.
  • To introduce novel EUS-guided transluminal drainage techniques for malignant biliary obstruction and pancreatic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing longitudinal EUS scanners for transluminal puncture of challenging mediastinal and abdominal lesions.
  • Applying EUS-guidance for the treatment of pancreatic pseudocysts, including drainage procedures.
  • Performing novel EUS-guided transluminal interventions such as cholangiodrainage and pancreatic drainage.

Main Results:

  • EUS-guided interventions improve the safety and efficiency of advanced endoscopic procedures.
  • Transluminal interventions guided by EUS simplify the approach and improve outcomes for abscess and/or necrosis drainage.
  • Novel EUS-guided transluminal techniques offer new therapeutic strategies for malignant biliary obstruction and pancreatic duct issues.

Conclusions:

  • EUS-guided interventions are indispensable in modern gastroenterology for complex therapeutic measures.
  • EUS provides a less traumatic and more effective route for managing pancreatic pseudocysts and other abdominal pathologies.
  • Innovative EUS-guided transluminal drainage techniques represent low-invasiveness therapeutic options for specific biliary and pancreatic diseases.
