Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

160
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

286
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

143
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 V: ERCP

647
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 I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

307
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:

  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Colorectal Surgery
  • Robotic-Assisted Procedures

Background:

  • Combined endoscopic robotic surgery integrates robotic assistance into traditional laparoscopic techniques for complex colonic polyp removal.
  • Existing literature describes the technique but lacks comprehensive patient follow-up data on safety and outcomes.

Discussion:

  • The study retrospectively reviewed data from 93 patients undergoing combined endoscopic robotic surgery.
  • Key outcome measures included operative time, complications, hospital stay, and pathology results.
  • Follow-up colonoscopy data were analyzed for polyp recurrence at resection sites.

Key Insights:

  • Combined endoscopic robotic surgery was successfully completed in 95% of patients, with a median operative time of 72 minutes for polyps averaging 40 mm.
  • The most common polyp locations were the cecum, ascending, and transverse colon, predominantly tubular adenomas.
  • A low polyp recurrence rate of 2.5% was observed in the 40 patients with follow-up colonoscopies.

Outlook:

  • Combined endoscopic robotic surgery shows promise for reduced operation times and lower polyp recurrence rates compared to laparoscopic counterparts.
  • Future research should focus on randomized trials and improved follow-up rates to further validate these findings.
  • The technique's potential to enhance safety and efficacy in managing complex colonic polyps warrants continued investigation.
