Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

691
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

293
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,...

Diagnosing and managing appendicitis requires a structured and comprehensive approach that spans from initial assessment to postoperative care. Here is an overview of the process:
Diagnosing Appendicitis
It requires a multifaceted approach, starting with a detailed physical examination to pinpoint the location and nature of the pain and identify any associated symptoms. Laboratory tests play a crucial role. A complete Blood Count (CBC) typically reveals leukocytosis (an increased number of...

Acute Pancreatitis II: Clinical Manifestations and Management

166
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...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

319
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
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endoscopic Procedures

Background:

  • Acute cholecystitis secondary to cholestasis is commonly managed via percutaneous transhepatic gallbladder drainage (PTGBD), EUS-guided gallbladder drainage (EUS-GBD), or cholecystectomy.
  • Emerging direct vision endoscopy systems, such as SpyGlass, have demonstrated successful intra-gallbladder access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the application of a direct visualization system for treating acute cholecystitis.
  • To explore a novel endoscopic approach for gallbladder intervention.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a direct visualization endoscopy system, analogous to SpyGlass technology.
  • Applying the system for therapeutic interventions within the gallbladder and its ducts.

Main Results:

  • Successful navigation and visualization within the gallbladder duct and gallbladder were achieved.
  • The direct visualization system was applied for treatment of acute cholecystitis.

Conclusions:

  • Direct visualization endoscopy represents a feasible and potentially effective method for managing acute cholecystitis.
  • This technique offers a minimally invasive alternative to established treatment modalities for gallbladder conditions.
