Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

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

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

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 II: Colonoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

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:

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) is a minimally invasive technique for resecting superficial gastrointestinal lesions.
Various EMR techniques exist, including conventional, hot, cold, and underwater EMR, offering advantages over traditional surgery.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a comprehensive review of the fundamental principles of colonic EMR.
To address the lagging adoption and training of EMR among gastroenterology trainees.

Main Methods:

Review of optical diagnosis and polyp classification systems for morphology and histology assessment.
Discussion of technical aspects of performing colonic EMR.
Outline of common adverse events and preventative measures.

Main Results:

EMR enables safe resection of superficial gastrointestinal lesions.
Understanding polyp classification and technical aspects is crucial for successful EMR.
Common adverse events include bleeding, perforation, and postpolypectomy syndrome.

Conclusions:

EMR is a valuable endoscopic technique with established safety and efficacy.
Addressing training gaps and providing practical guidance can enhance EMR adoption.
This review aims to equip trainees with the knowledge for confident EMR practice.
