Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

883
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

170
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 I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

344
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

326
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 Examination

329
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopy
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Ampullary lesions (ALs) are typically sporadic, premalignant adenomas located at the major papilla.
  • They are frequently discovered incidentally during routine endoscopic or imaging examinations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic procedures for ampullary lesions.
  • To focus on the endoscopic treatment of ALs, covering indications, techniques, outcomes, and potential complications.

Main Methods:

  • Diagnostic work-up involving endoscopic, histologic, and radiological evaluations.
  • Detailed description of endoscopic papillectomy procedures.

Main Results:

  • Endoscopic papillectomy is currently the preferred treatment modality for most ALs.
  • The article discusses outcomes, complications, and follow-up protocols post-treatment.

Conclusions:

  • Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation is crucial for ALs.
  • Endoscopic papillectomy offers a viable and preferred treatment option for ampullary lesions, necessitating careful management and follow-up.
