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 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:

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 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 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.

Summary

New criteria for assessing gastric and duodenal mucosa using narrow band imaging (NBI) endoscopy improve the identification of inflammatory and destructive processes. This protocol aids physicians in accurate image interpretation and diagnosis.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Endoscopic Imaging
Pathomorphology

Background:

Chronic diseases of the stomach and duodenum require accurate diagnostic methods.
Narrow Band Imaging (NBI) offers enhanced visualization of mucosal details.
Standard endoscopic assessment may have limitations in identifying subtle mucosal changes.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop novel criteria for evaluating gastric and duodenal mucosa images.
To enhance diagnostic accuracy using NBI endoscopic system.
To establish a standardized protocol for NBI-based endoscopic assessment.

Main Methods:

Comparison of endoscopic and morphological findings in 460 patients.
Standard esophagogastroduodenoscopy using an Olympus EVIS EXERA-II GIF H180 with NBI.

Pathomorphological analysis of biopsy material.

Main Results:

A new system for visual picture evaluation in monochromatic light was developed.
The NBI system demonstrated higher significance in identifying inflammatory and destructive mucosal processes.
Improved detection of structural alterations, their location, and extent was achieved.

Conclusions:

A protocol for describing endoscopic findings with NBI visualization in monochromatic light is proposed.
This protocol assists physicians in accurately estimating images and interpreting mucosal changes.
The developed criteria enhance the diagnostic utility of NBI in gastroenterology.
