Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

1.0K
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,...

Endotracheal Intubation I: Procedure

9.9K
Endotracheal or ET intubation is a critical medical procedure used to secure a patient's airway, often in acute respiratory distress, apnea, upper airway obstruction, ineffective clearance of secretions, high risk for aspiration, or during general anesthesia.
The ET tube comprises various components, including a standard adaptor to attach a bag-valve-mask (BVM) or ventilator, a cuff, a pilot balloon, and radiopaque markings along its length to measure the insertion distance. The tube sizes...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

805
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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

4.4K
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

1.6K
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:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endocrine Surgery
  • Surgical Oncology

Background:

  • Transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy is an emerging surgical technique.
  • This approach has been utilized by several surgical groups in Asia.
  • The study investigated its application in thyroid cancer and benign tumors.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and feasibility of transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy.
  • To assess the outcomes of patients undergoing this minimally invasive procedure.
  • To determine the efficacy of the transoral approach for various thyroid conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of medical records for patients who underwent transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery.
  • Surgical technique involved a midline vestibular incision for CO2 insufflation and lateral incisions for instrument insertion.
  • Conventional endoscopic instruments were used for the procedures.

Main Results:

  • Eighteen thyroid surgeries were performed on 17 patients, including lobectomies, completion thyroidectomy, and total thyroidectomies.
  • Postoperative pathology revealed papillary thyroid cancer (61.1%), follicular carcinoma (11.1%), and benign conditions (27.8%).
  • No significant complications such as sensory changes, recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, hypocalcemia, wound infection, or fistula were reported.

Conclusions:

  • The transoral endoscopic approach offers a direct and short route to the thyroid gland.
  • The technique appears to be safe and feasible for thyroid surgery.
  • Further refinement of surgical techniques is recommended for optimal outcomes and widespread adoption.
