Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

2.4K
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 IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

478
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

1.9K
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...

Summary

Ophthalmic pathology enucleations decreased for end-stage disease and trauma over 21 years. Malignancy is now the primary indication for eye removal, though other conditions are still noted.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmic pathology
  • Surgical pathology
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • Enucleation, the removal of an eye, is a significant surgical procedure in ophthalmology.
  • Understanding trends in enucleation indications is crucial for resource allocation and surgical planning.
  • Specialist ophthalmic pathology departments play a key role in diagnosing conditions necessitating enucleation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical indications for enucleations over a 21-year period.
  • To identify trends in the reasons for eye removal within a specialist ophthalmic pathology service.
  • To assess the changing landscape of enucleation indications over two decades.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of departmental records.
  • Categorization of enucleation cases by indication type.
  • Analysis of indications over a 21-year timeframe.

Main Results:

  • A declining trend in enucleations for end-stage conditions (phthisis, blindness, pain) was observed.
  • Fewer eyes were removed due to trauma over the study period.
  • Malignancy emerged as the predominant indication for enucleation.

Conclusions:

  • The primary driver for enucleation has shifted towards malignancy.
  • There is a notable decrease in enucleations for previously common indications like end-stage disease and trauma.
  • While less common, enucleations for other, including rarer, pathologies continue to be performed.
