Study Notes
Endoscopy Exam Notes
- Endoscopy is a procedure used to view and operate on internal organs and vessels of the body.
- Endoscopy is not only for the digestive system, it has a wider scope.
- Endoscopy can be used to investigate symptoms, investigate unusual cases or perform certain types of surgery.
- Removing a small tissue sample for further analysis might be involved.
Types of Endoscopy
- Laparoscopy: For abdomen or pelvis
- Hysteroscopy: For uterus
- Cystoscopy: For bladder
- Gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy): For upper GI
- Colonoscopy: For colon
- Sigmoidoscopy: For colon
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): For bile ducts and pancreas.
- Bronchoscopy: For lungs
- Laryngoscopy: For Lungs
- Arthroscopy: For joints
- Nasopharyngoscopy: For nasopharynx
- Otoscopy: For ears
Why Endoscopy?
- Used for diagnosing and treating:
- Bleeding sources
- Polyps (abnormal tissues)
- Inflammatory bowel diseases
Disadvantages
- Can only view a surface area of an organ
- Can only view a small area at a time
Advantages of Endoscopy
- Less invasive than open surgery
- Allows descriptive photography and documentation
- Low morbidity and mortality rates
Types Of Endoscopy (Later Pages)
- Capsule Endoscopy: Uses a small capsule with a camera that is swallowed.
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): Combines endoscopy and X-rays to view the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.
- Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS): Uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the digestive system and lungs.
- Chromolendoscopy: Dyes are used before endoscopy to identify lesions
Endoscopy B
- DaVinci Surgical System for improved dexterity, better control, better precision, and reduced hospital stay.
Endoscopy C
- Gastroscopy is a reliable test for identifying abnormalities in the upper digestive tract (e.g., inflammation, ulcers, tumors).
- Gastroscopy isn't foolproof, meaning it might not detect minor abnormalities.
Endoscopy D
- Anal Canal: Examination of the lower portion of the rectum.
- Terminal Ileum: Examination of the final part of the small intestine.
- Enteroscopy: Examination of the small intestine.
Endoscopy E
- Bronchoscopy: Procedure using a tube to view the airways inside the body (e.g., for diagnosing lung disease).
-
Bronchoscopy complications:
- uncorrectable bleeding: difficult to treat with the current tools.
- Tracheal Stenosis: reduced airway opening to breathe.
- Poorly controlled asthmatic symptoms: difficult to keep the airways open to breathe.
-
Bronchoscopy procedures:
- Preparing the patient: fast, no liquid 6-12 hours before procedure.
Endoscopy F & G
-
ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) Procedure:
- Uses sedation and local anesthesia.
- An endoscope is inserted through the mouth to reach the duodenum where the ampulla of Vater is.
- The ampulla of Vater is where the bile and pancreatic ducts meet.
- Complications of ERCP: occur in approximately 1-5% of cases.
- Contraindications of ERCP: include unstable cardiovascular or neurological conditions, or any pre-existing condition that could be exacerbated with the procedure.
- ERCP Post Procedure: requires monitoring for 1-2 hrs after the sedation wears off before eating and drinking.
G (Page 12 & 15)
-
Cystoscopy indications:
- Frequent infections
- Blood in the urine
- Frequent need to urinate
- Abnormal cells in the urine
- Painful urination/pelvic pain
- Blockage in the urinary tract
- Bladder stones/growths
F (Page 13)
- Proctoscopy: Procedure used to examine the rectum and anal canal.
- Proctoscopy purpose: detect diseases of the rectum, evaluate abnormal results from barium enemas, monitor rectal bleeding or growths, and to check for cancer (in patients who have had surgery in the past).
-
Proctoscopy complications:
- heavy blood loss (after procedure)
- difficulty urinating
- severe pain.
Endoscopy Final Revision (Page 14)
- Cystoscopy is a procedure to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra using a thin, tube-like instrument.
- It is used to detect:
- Lesions or tumors
- Follow up on previous examinations
- Cystoscopy indications (reasons to perform it), include urinary tract infections, blood in the urine, or frequent and urgent urination.
- Possible additional diagnoses (other than those already identified in the study notes), include recent UTIs, presence of bladder stones, or unexplained pelvic pain.
