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 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...

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Endoscopy
Biliary Tract Interventions

Background:

Biliary stenting is a common procedure for malignant biliary obstruction and benign biliary diseases.
Recent advancements focus on self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) and evolving treatment techniques.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a technology review of current endoscopic biliary stenting practices.
To describe the latest self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) models and stenting techniques.
To present the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy's (ESGE) current perspective on biliary stenting.

Main Methods:

Review of available self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) designs.
Analysis of current endoscopic stenting techniques.
Synthesis of expert opinion from the European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE).

Main Results:

A wide variety of self-expandable metal stent (SEMS) designs are now available.
Innovations in stenting techniques have accompanied stent advancements.
This technology review forms part of a combined publication with an ESGE clinical guideline.

Conclusions:

Self-expandable metal stents (SEMSs) represent a significant development in biliary stenting.
Endoscopic biliary stenting techniques continue to evolve.
The ESGE provides updated guidance on biliary stenting technology and practice.
