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 V: ERCP

5.5K
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.

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

5.2K
Meaning of Cystoscopic Examination:Cystoscopy is an essential diagnostic tool in urology that is used to assess the structure and function of the genitourinary system. It provides a direct view of the urethra, bladder, and, in some cases, the ureteral openings. This procedure helps detect structural abnormalities, infections, cancers, and blockages in the urinary tract. There are two types of cystoscopy:Flexible cystoscopy is commonly performed in outpatient settings due to its less invasive...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.9K
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:

    Summary

    The endoscopic ultrasonography rendezvous technique (EUS-RV) is a successful salvage method for deep biliary cannulation failure during ERCP, with an 81% success rate and 10% complication rate. Further standardization and device development are needed for optimal EUS-RV use.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Endoscopy
    • Biliary Interventions

    Background:

    • Deep biliary cannulation is essential for Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
    • Failure to achieve deep biliary cannulation necessitates alternative techniques.
    • Endoscopic Ultrasonography Rendezvous (EUS-RV) serves as a valuable salvage method.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the EUS-RV technique as a salvage method for ERCP.
    • To review existing literature on EUS-RV success and complication rates.
    • To identify key procedural aspects and areas for future development in EUS-RV.

    Main Methods:

    • Systematic review of 15 articles encompassing 382 EUS-RV cases.
    • Detailed description of the EUS-RV procedure, including guidewire advancement and scope exchange.
    • Discussion of three primary puncture routes: transgastric (intrahepatic bile duct) and transduodenal (extrahepatic bile duct via D1 or D2).

    Main Results:

    • The overall success rate for EUS-RV was 81%.
    • The overall complication rate associated with EUS-RV was 10%.
    • Hydrophilic guidewire selection is noted as critical for procedural success.

    Conclusions:

    • EUS-RV is an effective salvage technique for failed deep biliary cannulation in ERCP.
    • Patient condition should guide the selection of the appropriate puncture route.
    • Further research, including standardization and development of dedicated devices, is required to optimize EUS-RV utility and safety.
