Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

332
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

157
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 Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

112
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

132
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

186
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:

  • Hepatology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Advanced Endoscopy

Background:

  • Gastrointestinal endoscopy is crucial for hepatobiliary disorders.
  • Non-invasive tests and personalized medicine are changing endoscopic screening needs.
  • Advanced endoscopy, particularly endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), offers new diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current trends and future developments in endo-hepatology.
  • To highlight the integration of advanced endoscopy in hepatology practice.
  • To discuss the potential of endo-hepatology in managing hepatobiliary diseases.

Main Methods:

  • The review synthesizes current literature on advanced endoscopic techniques in hepatology.
  • Focuses on endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).
  • Examines applications such as EUS-guided liver biopsy and variceal embolization.

Main Results:

  • Endo-hepatology combines EUS for liver parenchyma/vascular disorders and ERCP for the hepatobiliary tract.
  • Key applications include EUS-guided liver biopsy, portal pressure measurement, and variceal treatment.
  • Advanced endoscopy offers novel diagnostic and therapeutic avenues for hepatobiliary diseases.
