Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

107
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: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

71
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: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

57
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 IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

53
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

81
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,...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

173
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Endoscopic Surgery

Background:

  • Total parotidectomy is a complex procedure for parotid gland tumors.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are sought to reduce morbidity.
  • Reconstruction following parotidectomy is crucial for functional and aesthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present the surgical procedure of full endoscopic total parotidectomy.
  • To describe sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle flap transplantation.
  • To evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of this combined novel approach.

Main Methods:

  • A short postauricular hairline incision was utilized.
  • Full endoscopic total parotidectomy was performed.
  • Sternocleidomastoid muscle flap was transplanted for reconstruction.

Main Results:

  • The described surgical technique was successfully performed.
  • Patient outcomes were reported, demonstrating feasibility.
  • Efficacy of the novel approach was evaluated.

Conclusions:

  • Full endoscopic total parotidectomy with SCM flap transplantation is a feasible and effective surgical option.
  • This minimally invasive approach may offer advantages in parotid gland surgery.
  • Further studies can explore long-term outcomes and broader applications.
