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 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...

Ultrasound II: Endoscopic Ultrasound and FibroScan

Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and FibroScan are valuable diagnostic tools in gastroenterology and hepatology, each with specific applications and techniques.

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:
Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination01:28

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Medical Technology Assessment

    Background:

    • The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) Technology Committee evaluates new endoscopic technologies.
    • Emerging technologies in gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy require rigorous assessment for clinical impact.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review new and emerging interventional endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) technologies.
    • To provide an evidence-based assessment of technologies impacting GI endoscopy practice.

    Main Methods:

    • MEDLINE literature search for preclinical and clinical studies.
    • MAUDE database search for reported complications.
    • Supplemented by PubMed 'related articles' and reference scrutiny.
    • Emphasis on controlled trials, supplemented by case series and expert opinions.

    Main Results:

    • Keywords used: 'interventional endoscopic ultrasound,' 'EUS,' and 'interventional endoscopy.'
    • Data gathered from publications and vendor communications.
    • Review methodology prioritizes robust evidence but includes other data types when RCTs are unavailable.

    Conclusions:

    • ASGE Technology Committee reports offer educational and informational reviews.
    • These reports do not establish legal standards of care or dictate specific treatments.
