Objective:

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided hepaticogastrostomy (HGS) in intrahepatic bile duct segment 3 (B3) is widely used for biliary drainage. Post-puncture procedures are easy to perform in intrahepatic bile duct segment 2 (B2), but using a conventional oblique-viewing (OV) scope (GF-UCT260) may result in transesophageal puncture. In this study, we compared the safety and efficacy of B2 puncture using a conventional OV scope, a novel OV scope (EG-740UT), and a forward-viewing (FV) scope (TGF-UC260J).

Methods:

This single-center retrospective study investigated 319 consecutive patients in whom B2-EUS-HGS was attempted using an OV or FV between January 2017 and March 2024 at Aichi Cancer Center.

Results:

In B2-EUS-HGS, the use of enhanced endoscopes (TGF-UC260J and EG-740UT) resulted in a relatively high technical success rate of 93.6% (205/219) and an overall clinical success rate of 97.1% (199/205). The enhanced endoscope group demonstrated a significantly higher technical success rate (p < 0.001) compared to the conventional endoscope group. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of overall clinical success rate (p = 0.128) and early adverse event rate (p = 0.461).

Conclusions:

B2-EUS-HGS using either an FV or novel OV scope showed comparable safety with a high technical and overall clinical success rate. The use of an FV or novel OV scope seems to be a suitable strategy for performing B2-EUS-HGS.

Clinical Trial Registration:

Study/trial registration and registration number were not applicable (N/A), as this study was a retrospective analysis using anonymized data.

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

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: Colonoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

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 V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

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 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...
