Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

2.1K
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 Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

1.2K
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,...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

1.1K
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 II: Colonoscopy

1.1K
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 V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

6.0K
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.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

931
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:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Colorectal Cancer Prevention

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal societies recommend colonoscopy surveillance post-colorectal neoplasm resection.
  • Guidelines emphasize high-quality baseline colonoscopy, risk stratification, and endoscopist advice.
  • Variability exists in guidelines regarding risk classification and surveillance intervals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review key factors influencing the quality of post-polypectomy surveillance.
  • To address common questions faced by endoscopists regarding surveillance practices.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current guidelines and literature on colorectal neoplasm surveillance.
  • Analysis of factors critical to surveillance quality: bowel preparation, baseline findings, and adherence.
  • Identification of frequently asked questions by endoscopists.

Main Results:

  • High-quality baseline colonoscopy is crucial for effective surveillance programs.
  • Risk stratification based on clinicopathological profiles aids in determining appropriate surveillance intervals.
  • Adherence to surveillance recommendations and quality of bowel preparation are significant factors.

Conclusions:

  • Standardizing surveillance protocols and addressing guideline variability are important.
  • Optimizing bowel preparation and ensuring adherence to recommended intervals enhance surveillance effectiveness.
  • Clear guidance and addressing endoscopist queries can improve post-polypectomy surveillance quality.
