Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

279
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.

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management01:28

Esophageal Varices-II: Clinical Features and Management

73
Esophageal varices often manifest as gastrointestinal bleeding episodes, presenting symptoms like hematemesis (vomiting of blood), hematochezia (passing fresh blood via the rectum), and melena (black, tarry stools). Other signs can include weight loss, anorexia, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, pruritus, altered mental status, and muscle cramps.
In the initial assessment, a thorough review of the patient's medical history is vital to identify risk factors such as liver disease, alcohol...

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Endoscopic Interventions

Background:

  • Gallbladder diseases are increasingly managed with endoscopic interventions.
  • These methods can serve as alternatives to or obviate the need for cholecystectomy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review recent data on the endoscopic management of common gallbladder diseases.
  • Highlighting advancements and novel techniques in gallbladder preservation.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent literature on endoscopic management of gallbladder diseases.
  • Focus on lumen-opposing metal stents (LAMS) and endoscopic ultrasound (EUS).

Main Results:

  • Lumen-opposing metal stents (LAMS) have revolutionized gallbladder management, particularly for cholecystitis.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides advanced gallbladder imaging.
  • Novel LAMS techniques enable gallbladder lesion/polyp resection and treatment of non-cholecystitis conditions, promoting gallbladder preservation.

Conclusions:

  • Multiple interventional endoscopic techniques effectively manage common gallbladder diseases like cholecystitis, cholelithiasis, polyps, and cancer.
  • Ongoing development promises further minimally invasive endoscopic solutions for gallbladder conditions.
