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 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 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:
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.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery
  • Medical Device Innovation

Background:

  • Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a complex endoscopic technique requiring specialized skills.
  • ESD procedures can be lengthy, posing challenges in clinical practice.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of a novel vibration endoscopy system in improving ESD efficiency.
  • To determine if endoscope vibration can shorten procedure times for ESD.

Main Methods:

  • A commercial endoscope was modified to incorporate vibration capabilities (5,000 or 10,000 rpm).
  • Procedure times for circumferential incision and submucosal dissection were measured with and without vibration in porcine stomachs.

Main Results:

  • Vibration at 10,000 rpm significantly reduced the duration of circumferential incisions.
  • Submucosal dissection times were also shortened with the application of vibration.
  • Overall procedure time for ESD was significantly decreased when using the vibration-assisted endoscope.

Conclusions:

  • Incorporating vibration into the endoscope effectively reduces procedure time during ESD.
  • Vibration endoscopy offers a promising approach to enhance the efficiency of complex endoscopic interventions.
