Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

410
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

1.3K
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

252
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...

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

301
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:

Urologic Endoscopic Procedure: Cystoscopic Examination

820
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...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

478
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:

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Medical Technology
  • Telehealth

Background:

  • Limited access to traditional endoscopy during the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated alternative diagnostic methods.
  • Telehealth solutions emerged as crucial for maintaining patient care continuity.
  • Video capsule endoscopy (VCE) offers a non-invasive method for gastrointestinal visualization.

Observation:

  • Two cases utilized TeleInGEstion Remote Video Capsule Endoscopy (TIGER VCE) for remote capsule ingestion and physician review.
  • Patients ingested the CapsoCam capsule during a televisit.
  • Physician review of capsule endoscopy videos was performed remotely.

Findings:

  • TIGER VCE successfully diagnosed a benign cause of melena in one patient.
  • The technique confirmed a diagnosis of Crohn's disease in another patient prior to biologic therapy.
  • The described cases highlight the safety and efficacy of TIGER VCE.

Implications:

  • Remote VCE, such as TIGER VCE, demonstrates potential as a safe and effective diagnostic tool.
  • This telehealth approach may become a standard for capsule ingestion in the future.
  • TIGER VCE expands the utility of capsule endoscopy in resource-limited or pandemic situations.
