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 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 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 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:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Surgical Innovation

Background:

  • Small bowel polyps pose diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Capsule endoscopy (CE) is a primary tool for small bowel polyp detection.
  • Double balloon enteroscopy (DBE) offers therapeutic capabilities for the small bowel.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the feasibility and safety of small bowel polypectomy using DBE.
  • To evaluate the correlation between CE findings and DBE procedures.
  • To determine the utility of CE in guiding DBE interventions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 25 patients undergoing DBE for small bowel polyps.
  • Analysis of polyp diagnosis from CE and other imaging modalities.
  • Statistical evaluation of correlation between CE and DBE for polyp number, size, and location.

Main Results:

  • 31 polypectomies and 12 endoscopic mucosal resections performed with no mortality.
  • Histology confirmed hamartomas, adenomas, and lipomas.
  • Strong agreement between CE and DBE for polyp location (Kappa: 0.90) and size (Kappa: 0.76); moderate agreement for polyp number (Kendall: 0.47).

Conclusions:

  • DBE is a safe endoscopic modality for small bowel polypectomy.
  • Pre-procedural CE is valuable for selecting the endoscopic approach and predicting procedural difficulty.
