Summary
The International Digestive Endoscopy Network (IDEN) 2014 fostered global collaboration among physicians and researchers in gastrointestinal (GI) diseases. This scientific program advanced knowledge in upper GI, lower GI, and pancreatobiliary endoscopy.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology and Endoscopy
- Medical Education and Networking
Background:
- Social networking services (SNS) facilitate connections between individuals and populations.
- The International Digestive Endoscopy Network (IDEN) serves as a platform for global medical professionals.
Purpose of the Study:
- To convene physicians and researchers for a scientific exchange on gastrointestinal (GI) diseases.
- To disseminate cutting-edge information and practice tips in endoscopy.
- To foster international collaboration through joint sessions and networking opportunities.
Main Methods:
- A 2-day international scientific program featuring live endoscopic demonstrations.
- Joint sessions organized by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) and the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE).
- A dedicated forum for young scientists to encourage participation and networking.
Main Results:
- Successful convening of a global network of physicians and researchers focused on GI diseases.
- Presentation of the latest advances in upper GI, lower GI, and pancreatobiliary endoscopy.
- Active engagement from young endoscopists in the Asian Young Endoscopist Award Forum.
Conclusions:
- IDEN 2014 successfully facilitated knowledge sharing and networking in the field of digestive endoscopy.
- The event highlighted the importance of international cooperation and the development of young talent in gastroenterology.
- Continued advancements in endoscopic techniques and treatments were showcased.

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...

2.3K
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:

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:

7.0K
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.

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,...

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...
