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...

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology and Surgical Innovation
Minimally Invasive Surgery Techniques

Background:

Laparoscopic fundoplication is a key procedure in the Society of American Gastrointestinal and Endoscopic Surgeons (SAGES) Foregut Pathway.
This article identifies and summarizes seminal works crucial for surgeons performing this procedure.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a curated list of the top 10 foundational articles on laparoscopic fundoplication.
To provide surgeons with essential knowledge for mastering this surgical technique.

Main Methods:

A systematic literature search was conducted using Web of Science and Google Scholar.
The top 30 cited papers were ranked by the SAGES Foregut Committee, with expert consensus for additional impactful articles.
The top 10 articles were summarized, focusing on relevance, findings, strengths, limitations, and conclusions.

Main Results:

The selected articles encompass clinical guidelines, comparative trials (surgical techniques, medical vs. surgical therapy), systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
These seminal works cover critical aspects such as patient selection, operative techniques, clinical outcomes, and evidence-based recommendations for GERD management.
The identified papers establish core technical principles and evaluate outcomes for laparoscopic fundoplication.

Conclusions:

The top 10 articles are foundational for surgeon development in the SAGES Foregut Pathway.
These papers provide the essential evidence base and principles guiding current laparoscopic fundoplication practices.
Mastery of these seminal works supports surgeon progression and expertise in foregut surgery.
