Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

147
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.

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:

    Summary

    The Full SMAS technique combines endoscopic and open methods for comprehensive facial rejuvenation, offering natural, long-lasting results with high patient satisfaction and low complication rates.

    Area of Science:

    • Plastic Surgery
    • Facial Anatomy
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Aging affects all facial regions, necessitating a holistic approach to rejuvenation.
    • Inadequate anatomical knowledge in isolated treatments can lead to suboptimal outcomes.
    • The Full SMAS technique addresses the anatomical continuity of the superficial musculoaponeurotic system (SMAS)-platysma for deep-plane facial suspension.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the integration of endoscopic techniques into traditional facelift and neck lift procedures.
    • To assess the efficacy of a comprehensive approach from the forehead to the neck.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized endoscopy for repositioning the frontal region and midface across three sub-SMAS layers.
    • Performed frontal and zygomatic-masseter ligament release.

  • Included open treatment of the lower subplatysmal section and release of retaining ligaments for jowl approach.

    • Main Results:

    • 161 patients underwent the Full SMAS technique.
    • Achieved long-lasting aesthetic results.
    • Reported low complication rates and high patient satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • The Full SMAS technique offers complete facial rejuvenation by integrating endoscopic and open surgical approaches.
    • Minimally invasive endoscopic treatment of the temporal and midface regions reduces nerve injury risk and scar visibility.
    • This systematic approach yields natural, enduring results for facial and neck rejuvenation.
