Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

695
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

576
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,...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

2.2K
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 II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

478
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 IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

426
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Small Bowel Therapeutics

Background:

  • Device-assisted enteroscopy is crucial for diagnosing and treating small bowel pathologies.
  • Standard therapies include hemostasis, polypectomy, and dilation.
  • Complex indications necessitate advanced endoscopic interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and describe advanced device-assisted enteroscopy therapies for the small bowel.
  • To focus on techniques beyond conventional hemostatic treatments for vascular lesions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of device-assisted enteroscopy procedures.
  • Analysis of advanced therapeutic applications in the small bowel.
  • Exclusion of conventional hemostatic therapies for vascular lesions.

Main Results:

  • Device-assisted enteroscopy enables desinvagination, percutaneous enteroscopic jejunostomy, stent placement, endoscopic mucosal resection, and foreign body extraction.
  • These advanced techniques address specific indications not covered by standard therapies.
  • Small bowel bleeding remains a frequent indication, but specialized procedures are vital for other complex cases.

Conclusions:

  • Device-assisted enteroscopy provides a versatile platform for advanced small bowel interventions.
  • Specialized techniques expand the therapeutic capabilities of enteroscopy for challenging conditions.
  • Further research can optimize these advanced procedures for improved patient outcomes.
