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 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 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 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 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:

  • Medical Engineering
  • Surgical Technology
  • Robotics

Background:

  • Flexible endoscopic surgery, including Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (NOTES), lacks a stable horizon in real-time video feeds.
  • This absence of a stable visual reference complicates instrument manipulation and accurate assessment of tissue behavior, particularly gravity-related deformations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate an image rotation correction system, named "Endorientation," for flexible endoscopic surgery.
  • To introduce a stable horizon in endoscopic images to enhance surgical precision and intuitiveness.

Main Methods:

  • A tiny MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) tri-axial inertial sensor was integrated onto the tip of a flexible endoscope.
  • The sensor measures gravity's impact on its orthogonal axes to directly estimate the endoscope's rotation angle after calibration and filtering.
  • Real-time image rotation correction was achieved by digitally processing the analog endoscopic video signal.

Main Results:

  • The Endorientation system achieved a repetition rate exceeding the standard endoscopic video frame rate of 30 Hz.
  • The system demonstrated an accuracy of approximately one degree in rotation correction.
  • Animal studies indicated significant improvements in the intuitiveness of coordinating instruments and assessing gravity-induced tissue changes.

Conclusions:

  • The Endorientation approach effectively provides a stable horizon in endoscopic images, even in non-rigid surgical scenarios.
  • This technology enhances surgical workflow by improving instrument coordination and the understanding of tissue dynamics.
  • The system offers a practical solution for a long-standing challenge in flexible endoscopic surgery.
