Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

2.4K
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:

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 Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

1.1K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Rhinology
  • Surgical Outcomes

Background:

  • Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) management often requires endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS).
  • Accurate post-operative assessment is crucial for evaluating surgical success and guiding further treatment.
  • Existing scoring systems may have limitations in simplicity or scope for post-ESS evaluation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a straightforward post-operative endoscopic scoring system (E score) for patients undergoing ESS for CRS.
  • To validate the utility and reliability of this novel E score in clinical practice.
  • To assess the correlation of the E score with established radiological and endoscopic assessment tools.

Main Methods:

  • A case series of 116 patients with CRS who underwent ESS between 2006 and 2012 was analyzed.
  • Pre- and post-operative computed tomography (CT) scans were scored using the Lund-Mackay system.
  • A novel post-operative endoscopic score (E score) was developed and compared with the Lund-Kennedy (L-K) score.

Main Results:

  • The E score proved easy and quick to determine, demonstrating high inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.922).
  • A strong positive correlation was observed between the E score and CT scores (rs=0.755, p<0.0001).
  • The E score also showed a strong correlation with the L-K score (rs=0.723, p<0.0001).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed E score is a valuable and simple tool for endoscopic evaluation of sinuses and olfactory clefts post-ESS.
  • The E score complements the L-K score and radiological assessments in managing patients with CRS after surgery.
  • This scoring system aids in objective post-operative assessment and potentially improves patient outcomes.
