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 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 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 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 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:
Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care01:26

Varicose Veins II: Diagnostic Studies and Interprofessional Care

Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Endoscopy
  • Small Bowel Endoscopy

Background:

  • Small bowel lesions present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Traditional endoscopic methods have limitations in accessing the small bowel.
  • Balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BE) has emerged as a significant advancement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of indications for balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BE).
  • To review the practical application of BE for various endoscopic interventions.
  • To highlight the expanding therapeutic role of BE in small bowel disease.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature and clinical practices regarding balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BE).
  • Analysis of therapeutic interventions performed using BE for small bowel lesions.
  • Examination of BE applications in complex cases, including biliary interventions.

Main Results:

  • BE enables effective treatment of bleeding sites, strictures, polyps, and foreign bodies in the small bowel.
  • Therapeutic options include Argon plasma coagulation (APC), injection therapy, and TTS metal clips for bleeding.
  • BE facilitates dilation of strictures, polyp resection (e.g., in Peutz-Jeghers syndrome), and foreign body removal.
  • New indications include interventions in the biliary system for patients with surgically altered anatomy (e.g., Roux-Y anastomosis).

Conclusions:

  • Balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BE) significantly expands therapeutic capabilities in interventional endoscopy.
  • BE is increasingly utilized for treating a wide range of small bowel pathologies.
  • BE offers a versatile platform for endoscopic interventions, including in challenging anatomical situations.
