Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.5K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.3K
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:

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

778
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

3.8K
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.

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
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Stapes fixation, a common cause of conductive hearing loss, traditionally managed with otologic surgical techniques.
  • Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery (TEES) has emerged as a potential alternative for otologic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the viability and advantages of transcanal endoscopic ear surgery for managing stapes fixation.
  • To assess the challenges and efficacy of TEES in stapes fixation surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized transcanal endoscopic ear surgery approach for stapes fixation management.
  • Focused on visualization of the stapes and oval window through the endoscope.

Main Results:

  • TEES provides superior visualization and illumination of the stapes and oval window.
  • Challenges with footplate work and prosthesis placement due to lack of depth perception are surmountable.
  • Recent studies indicate TEES is effective and safe for stapes fixation.

Conclusions:

  • Transcanal endoscopic ear surgery is a viable and effective alternative for stapes fixation.
  • Enhanced visualization is a key advantage of TEES in otologic surgery.
  • TEES demonstrates safety and efficacy for managing stapes fixation.
