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 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 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
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Standard endoscopic polypectomy effectively removes most gastrointestinal polyps.
  • A subset of polyps are classified as difficult due to size, location, or configuration.
  • Historically, difficult polyps necessitated surgical intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current endoscopic techniques and strategies for the resection of difficult polyps.
  • To highlight advancements in endoscopic methods and accessories for polyp removal.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on endoscopic polyp resection techniques.
  • Discussion of evolving endoscopic accessories, including novel submucosal injectates.
  • Focus on techniques for managing difficult-to-resect polyps.

Main Results:

  • Advancements in endoscopic techniques and accessories have improved the management of difficult polyps.
  • Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) techniques are increasingly adopted in Western countries.
  • Novel accessories, such as auto-dissecting injectates, enhance safety and efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • A majority of difficult polyps can now be resected using entirely endoscopic methods.
  • Ongoing innovation in endoscopic accessories aims to further improve polyp resection outcomes.
  • This review provides insights into successful endoscopic resection strategies for challenging polyps.
