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.

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus01:19

Bones of the Upper Limb: Humerus

The upper limb consists of the arm, forearm, wrist, and hand bones. The humerus is the single bone of the upper arm region. Proximally, it has a large, spherical, smooth head that articulates with the glenoid cavity of the scapula to form the glenohumeral or shoulder joint. The margin of the head is the anatomical neck, a residual epiphyseal plate. Laterally it extends to form bony projections called the greater tubercle and the lesser tubercle. Next to the tubercles is the surgical neck, a...

Elbow arthroscopy is now safer and more effective due to improved anatomical understanding and surgical techniques. This minimally invasive procedure treats various elbow conditions, including loose bodies and fractures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Elbow arthroscopy was initially deemed high-risk due to joint size and neurovascular proximity.
  • Recent advancements have significantly enhanced the safety and efficacy of this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the evolution and current applications of elbow arthroscopy.
  • To highlight improvements in safety, technique, and indications.

Main Methods:

  • Review of anatomical understanding and surgical advancements in elbow arthroscopy.
  • Analysis of common and emerging indications for the procedure.

Main Results:

  • Elbow arthroscopy has transitioned from a high-risk to a safer, more effective surgical option.
