Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

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...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

1.0K
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

674
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: ERCP

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.

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

574
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:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Microvascular decompression (MVD) effectively treats drug-resistant trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm.
  • Challenges in identifying or decompressing the offending vessel can lead to treatment failure.
  • Current microscopic and endoscopic techniques have limitations in visualization and safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel 3D exoscopic endoscope-assisted MVD technique.
  • To provide guidance on potential pitfalls associated with this advanced surgical approach.

Main Methods:

  • A 3D exoscopic endoscope-assisted microvascular decompression technique was developed and applied.
  • The procedure involved detailed visualization and decompression of neurovascular conflicts.

Main Results:

  • The 3D exoscopic endoscope-assisted MVD provides superior visualization compared to standard microscope-assisted techniques.
  • This enhanced visualization does not compromise the surgical field of view, both internally and externally.

Conclusions:

  • The 3D exoscopic endoscope-assisted MVD offers improved visualization for microvascular decompression surgery.
  • This technique represents an advancement in managing complex cases of trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm.
