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: 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 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 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 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:
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is a safe diagnostic and therapeutic tool for pediatric patients with suspected small bowel disease. This endoscopic method is recommended when less invasive techniques fail to provide a diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Procedures
  • Small Bowel Diseases

Background:

  • Double-balloon enteroscopy (DBE) is an emerging endoscopic technique for small bowel disorders.
  • Limited data exists on DBE application in pediatric populations.
  • This study focuses on the pediatric experience with DBE.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of DBE in children and adolescents.
  • To present the indications, outcomes, and complications of DBE in a pediatric cohort.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 13 DBE procedures performed between 2006-2008.
  • Patient data included demographics, indications, results, and adverse events.
  • Procedures were conducted at a tertiary pediatric referral center.

Main Results:

  • DBE was performed on 11 patients aged 8-20 years for suspected small bowel pathology.
  • Clinically significant lesions were identified in 46% of procedures.
  • No serious complications occurred; mild abdominal discomfort was noted.

Conclusions:

  • DBE is a safe endoscopic modality for diagnosing and treating suspected small bowel disease in children and adolescents.
  • DBE should be reserved for pediatric patients with high suspicion of small bowel pathology when other methods are insufficient.
