Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

233
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

395
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 I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

459
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 Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

309
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...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.2K
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: Colonoscopy

273
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:

Area of Science:

  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Salivary Gland Diseases

Background:

  • Salivary gland diseases often require surgical intervention.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly preferred for patient benefit.
  • Sialendoscopy offers a novel approach to salivary gland pathology.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sialendoscopy.
  • To present a 4-year single-center experience with sialendoscopy.
  • To demonstrate the utility of sialendoscopy in oral and maxillofacial practice.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective analysis of 44 patients undergoing sialendoscopy between November 2015 and August 2019.
  • Data collected included patient demographics, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, interventions, and outcomes.
  • Statistical analysis using chi-squared test was performed to assess variable significance.

Main Results:

  • Sialolithiasis was the most common cause of obstruction (70%).
  • Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) showed high accuracy in diagnosing lithiasis.
  • Symptom improvement was observed in 57.9% of patients with a low complication rate (11%), none permanent.

Conclusions:

  • Sialendoscopy is a safe and effective diagnostic and therapeutic tool for benign obstructive salivary gland disease.
  • The technique has a valuable role in oral and maxillofacial surgery.
  • Pre-endoscopy workup should include CBCT and/or ultrasound for optimal diagnosis.
