Gallbladder01:17

Gallbladder

1.7K
The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion.
The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.9K
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 I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

627
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

532
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,...

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination01:28

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

1.5K
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...

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow01:24

Upper GI Series: Barium Swallow

1.2K
The Barium Swallow Study, or a Barium Esophagogram, is a diagnostic imaging method used to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract, including the esophagus, stomach, and small intestine. It employs barium sulfate, a radiopaque contrast material, to provide clear images of the upper digestive system, helping to identify abnormalities, diseases, or structural issues.
Purpose and Procedure
Patients undergoing this procedure ingest a liquid containing barium sulfate with a chalky...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Interventional Endoscopy
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery

Background:

  • Cholecystectomy is standard for acute cholecystitis but risky for patients with comorbidities.
  • Percutaneous and endoscopic transpapillary drainage have limitations.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD) is emerging as a superior alternative.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the efficacy and safety of EUS-GBD for acute cholecystitis.
  • To discuss technical considerations and evolving accessories for EUS-GBD.
  • To compare EUS-GBD with other drainage modalities.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of published case series on EUS-GBD.
  • Analysis of technical success, clinical outcomes, and adverse events.
  • Evaluation of novel stent technology, including lumen-apposing metal stents (LAMS).

Main Results:

  • EUS-GBD demonstrates a high overall clinical success rate of approximately 97%.
  • Pneumoperitoneum is the most common complication, with advancements in self-expanding LAMS showing promise.
  • EUS-GBD is effective as definitive treatment or a bridge to cholecystectomy.

Conclusions:

  • EUS-GBD is a highly effective and safe minimally invasive treatment for acute cholecystitis in patients unsuitable for surgery.
  • Patient anatomy and procedural details, such as access site and stent selection, are crucial for optimal outcomes.
  • Continued evolution of EUS-GBD techniques and devices will further enhance its application and success rates.
