Summary
Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) offers a reliable alternative to surgery for ampullary adenomas. Careful preoperative evaluation is crucial to avoid adverse events and ensure successful tumor resection.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Endoscopic Surgery
- Oncology
Background:
- Endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is an established endoscopic therapy for ampullary adenomas.
- Recent advancements have expanded EP techniques and indications.
- Management of adverse events (AEs) and recurrent lesions are key considerations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent advancements in endoscopic papillectomy (EP) techniques.
- To discuss indications, outcomes, and adverse events associated with EP.
- To explore future challenges and research directions for EP.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive review of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) literature.
- Analysis of indications, preoperative assessments, and techniques.
- Evaluation of outcomes, adverse events, surveillance, and recurrence management.
Main Results:
- EP is a viable alternative to surgery for ampullary adenomas.
- Advancements focus on expanding indications and improving safety.
- Preoperative evaluation is critical for patient selection and successful outcomes.
Conclusions:
- Complete resection of ampullary tumors without adverse events is the primary goal of EP.
- Accurate preoperative diagnosis is essential to identify contraindications.
- Further research into AE prevention is needed to enhance EP safety.

2.1K
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.

01:30Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy
423
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...

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...

559
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,...

654
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:

01:25Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy
465
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:
