Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

318
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 IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

154
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: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

175
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:

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

338
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 V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

794
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 Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

259
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...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Simulation
    • Surgical Training
    • Artificial Intelligence in Medicine

    Background:

    • Endoscopic surgery is crucial but demands extensive surgeon training due to complex manipulation and limited visualization.
    • Traditional training methods (animal, cadaver) have limitations, increasing the importance of simulation-based approaches.
    • Mastering endoscopic skills requires significant medical knowledge and advanced psychomotor abilities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and evaluate a novel hybrid surgical simulator for endoscopic training.
    • To create a realistic physical model of the urinary tract for endourological procedures.
    • To integrate artificial intelligence for automated lesion detection and quantitative skill assessment.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a high-fidelity physical model of the complete urinary tract using soft materials and detailed vasculature.
    • Performance of endourological procedures, including renal calculus localization and treatment, using a flexible endoscope.
    • Development and implementation of an artificial intelligence algorithm for automatic lesion detection and operator skill evaluation.

    Main Results:

    • The hybrid simulator accurately models the urinary tract for realistic endourological procedures.
    • The AI algorithm demonstrated high accuracy in detecting lesions during simulated procedures.
    • The system provides quantitative feedback on the surgeon's endoscopic performance.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed hybrid surgical simulator offers a promising interactive and personalized learning platform for endoscopic skills.
    • This approach provides a preliminary framework for advanced, realistic endoscopic training.
    • The simulator's high-fidelity physical models and quantitative feedback facilitate effective hands-on learning for surgeons.
