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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

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 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...

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 II: Colonoscopy

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:

Veterinary Medicine
Minimally Invasive Surgery
Avian Endoscopy

Background:

Endoscopy is a key diagnostic tool for avian veterinarians.
Most current endoscopic procedures are single-entry techniques.
Miniature laparoscopy equipment, adapted from human pediatrics, is now available for zoologic companion animals.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the application of multi-port endoscopy in avian coelomic surgery.
To highlight the feasibility of advanced endoscopic procedures in avian patients.
To emphasize the benefits of minimally invasive endoscopic surgery in companion animals.

Main Methods:

Utilizing 2.5 or 3.5 mm cannulae for additional ports in the avian coelom.
Employing 2 or 3 mm endoscopic instruments for procedures.
Integrating radiosurgical hemostasis for improved surgical outcomes.
Performing endoscope-assisted procedures like enterotomy, enterectomy, cloacopexy, and pneumotomy.

Main Results:

Multi-port endoscopy facilitates triangulation and manipulation of instruments within the avian coelom.
Procedures such as salpingohysterectomy and orchidectomy are now possible endoscopically.
Endoscope-assisted procedures can be initiated internally and completed externally.
Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery leads to rapid diagnosis and reduced surgical stress.

Conclusions:

The adoption of multi-port endoscopy significantly expands surgical possibilities in avian medicine.
Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery offers substantial benefits, including reduced coeliotomy, stable anesthesia, and shorter hospitalization.
This approach represents a significant advancement in avian surgical care, improving patient outcomes.
