Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

217
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 IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

128
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: Colonoscopy

139
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 V: ERCP

445
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

208
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,...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is increasingly standard in hospitals.
  • ESD carries risks of perforation and hemorrhage.
  • Continuous development of safer and more efficient ESD techniques is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review therapeutic procedures and training methods for improving ESD safety and efficiency.
  • To describe a specific ESD training system implemented in a Japanese university hospital.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on ESD therapeutic procedures and training.
  • Description of a training system implemented in a newly established Digestive Endoscopy department.
  • Analysis of ESD outcomes, including perforation rates, during the department's establishment phase.

Main Results:

  • The implemented ESD training system contributed to a gradual increase in ESD procedures.
  • Zero perforation rate was achieved for all ESD procedures, including those performed by trainees, during the department's establishment.
  • The review highlights advancements in ESD safety and efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The described training system and therapeutic approaches are effective in enhancing ESD safety and efficiency.
  • Successful implementation of ESD, even by trainees, is achievable with appropriate training and procedures.
  • This model can inform the development of ESD programs in other institutions.
