Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

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 to...

Area of Science:

  • Neurosurgery
  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Otolaryngology

Background:

  • Skull base surgery in children presents unique challenges.
  • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly explored for pediatric neurosurgical procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the safety and efficacy of endoscopic approaches for pediatric skull base surgery.
  • To report institutional experience with endoscopic skull base procedures in patients under 18 years of age.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of pediatric patients (<18 years) undergoing endoscopic skull base surgery from 2016-2023.
  • Analysis of surgical indications including tumors, defects, and decompression.
  • Assessment of postoperative outcomes: length of stay, complications (CSF leak, infection), and long-term sequelae.

Main Results:

  • 37 surgeries were performed in 32 pediatric patients.
  • Common indications included tumor resection (73%) and defect repair (14%).
  • Low complication rates observed: 3% CSF leak, 8% intracranial infection; no vascular or new neurological deficits. Tumor recurrence was 36% in resected tumors.

Conclusions:

  • Endoscopic skull base surgery is a safe and effective treatment modality for pediatric patients.
  • The technique offers favorable outcomes with manageable complication rates.
  • Further research can explore long-term oncological control and functional outcomes.
