Summary
Interventional endoscopy offers advanced diagnostics and treatments for hepatico-pancreatico-biliary diseases. Novel techniques like endoscopic retrograde cholangiography-guided therapies and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided drainage improve patient outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Gastroenterology
- Interventional Endoscopy
- Hepatico-Pancreatico-Biliary (HPB) Disease
Background:
- Interventional endoscopy has significantly advanced in treating hepatico-pancreatico-biliary diseases.
- Novel endoscopic tools enhance diagnostic capabilities, including direct visualization and targeted biopsy of the biliary and pancreatic ducts.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide an overview of emerging endoscopic techniques for hepatico-pancreatico-biliary diseases.
- To highlight advancements in diagnosis, treatment, and management of complex biliary and pancreatic conditions.
Main Methods:
- Direct visualization via cholangioscopy for gallstone lithotripsy.
- Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided interventions, including lumen-apposing metal stent insertion for malignant biliary obstruction and transgastric drainage.
- Catheter-based therapies like radiofrequency ablation and photodynamic therapy guided by endoscopic retrograde cholangiography.
Main Results:
- Improved diagnostic accuracy through direct visualization and targeted biopsy.
- Successful management of complex gallstones using cholangioscopy-guided lithotripsy.
- Effective extraanatomical access and drainage in cases of altered anatomy or failed traditional stenting.
- Feasible local tumor therapy and pancreatic duct drainage using advanced endoscopic techniques.
Conclusions:
- Novel endoscopic techniques offer significant improvements in managing hepatico-pancreatico-biliary diseases.
- These methods provide effective solutions for complex cases, including malignant obstruction, altered anatomy, and chronic pancreatitis.
- Interventional endoscopy is a rapidly evolving field with expanding applications in HPB disease.

1.1K
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.

01:30Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management
317
Acute pancreatitis presents a complex medical emergency characterized by rapid onset inflammation of the pancreas, demanding timely diagnosis and management to prevent complications. The condition primarily manifests through severe upper abdominal pain that often radiates to the back. This pain intensifies following the consumption of fatty foods. Accompanying symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal distention, fever, dyspnea, cyanosis, and jaundice can vary in intensity but significantly...

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,...

407
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:
