Summary
Topographic mapping of specimens after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a valuable technique. This study shows its feasibility and benefits in a European setting, promoting wider adoption.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Surgical Pathology
- Endoscopic Procedures
Background:
- Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a minimally invasive endoscopic procedure for gastrointestinal lesion resection.
- Pathologic specimen mapping is standard practice in Asian countries, particularly Japan, following ESD.
- There is limited awareness and adoption of specimen mapping in European healthcare settings.
Observation:
- This report details the implementation of topographic mapping for ESD specimens within a Western clinical environment.
- The study focuses on demonstrating the practical application and advantages of this technique.
Findings:
- Topographic mapping of ESD specimens is feasible in a European context.
- The technique offers significant benefits for accurate specimen assessment and surgical planning.
Implications:
- Increased adoption of topographic mapping can enhance the quality of post-ESD specimen analysis in Europe.
- This practice may improve diagnostic accuracy and patient management for gastrointestinal conditions treated with ESD.

01:29Plotting of Topographic Maps
494
Topographic maps represent the Earth's surface features using contour lines, which connect points of equal elevation to create a two-dimensional representation of three-dimensional terrain. Creating a topographic map requires a systematic approach.Begin by plotting a scaled grid and marking intersections corresponding to the survey's elevation data points. Assign elevation values at these intersections to build the base map. Next, determine contour levels using a consistent contour interval,...

01:29Topographic Surveying and Contours
890
Topographic surveying is critical for documenting the Earth's surface, focusing on capturing elevations, slopes, and natural and man-made features. It is essential in construction planning, water resource management, and land-use analysis. The primary outcome of such surveys is a topographic map, which uses contour lines to visually represent the shape and slope of the terrain, providing valuable insights into the landscape's characteristics.Contour lines are fundamental to understanding the...

1.3K
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...

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:

3.1K
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.
