Study Notes

Endoscopy Exam Notes

  • Endoscopy is a procedure used to view and operate on internal organs and vessels of the body.
  • It is not only used for the digestive system but also other areas.
  • Endoscopy can be used to investigate symptoms.
  • Examples of symptoms include: vomiting blood, difficulty swallowing, persistent diarrhea, persistent abdominal pain, unexplained weight loss, and persistent vomiting.
  • Types of endoscopy include: laparoscopy for abdomen/pelvis, hysteroscopy for uterus, cystoscopy for bladder, gastroscopy/upper GI endoscopy for upper GI tract, colonoscopy for colon, sigmoidoscopy for lower colon, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), bronchoscopy for lungs, laryngoscopy, arthroscopy for joints, nasopharyngoscopy, and otoscopy for ears.
  • Advantages of endoscopy: less invasive than open surgery, allows for descriptive and photographic documentation, low morbidity and mortality.
  • Disadvantages: can only see the surface of the organ, only views a small area at a time.
  • Endoscopy is used for diagnosing and treating conditions like bleeding sources, polyps, inflammatory bowel diseases, and abnormal tissues.

Capsule Endoscopy

  • A capsule endoscopy is a technique using a small-sized video capsule to examine the digestive tract.
  • The capsule contains a camera that transmits images as it passes through the digestive tract.
  • Sensors are attached to a data recorder belt to capture images.
  • It is used to examine the small intestine.
  • It is less invasive than other procedures.

Latest Techniques in Endoscopy

  • Capsule endoscopy, a small capsule with a camera swallowed to transmit images through the digestive tract.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) uses endoscopy and X-rays to visualize the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver, and treat conditions in these areas.
  • Endoscopic ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the digestive system and lung diseases.
  • Marrow-band imaging uses filtered light for better visualization of internal organs.

Endoscopy B

  • Da Vinci Surgical System offers robot assistance for improved dexterity and better control.
  • Advantages: reduced hospital stay, less staff required, and less risky.
  • Limitations in endoscopy procedures.
  • Endoscopy is used to investigate inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, stomach ulcers, chronic constipation, pancreatitis, gallstones, and tumors.
  • Endoscopy can be used for various medical treatments like hemorrhage, injections, removal of foreign bodies, stenosis dilation, and feeding.

Endoscopy C

  • Gastroscopy and colonoscopy are reliable but not foolproof methods for identifying abnormalities in the upper and lower digestive tracts, respectively.
  • Gastroscopy can identify abnormalities in the upper digestive tract (stomach, duodenum).
  • Colonoscopy can identify abnormalities in the lower digestive tract.
  • Certain conditions, such as early-stage cancers or tiny ulcers, may not be detected by gastroscopy or colonoscopy.

Endoscopy D

  • Small bowel enteroscopy is used to identify gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic diarrhea, and malabsorption syndromes.
  • Gastroscopy involves examining the upper gastrointestinal tract using a flexible tube and camera, which can be used to visualize the gullet, stomach, and duodenum.
  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a procedure that combines endoscopy and X-ray to visualize and treat conditions affecting the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.
  • Enteroscopy is used to examine the small intestine.
  • Types of enteroscopy include capsule enteroscopy, double balloon enteroscopy.

Endoscopy E

  • Bronchoscopy's therapeutic uses include inserting an endotracheal tube for general anesthesia, managing bleeding, and treating tracheal stenosis.
  • Potential complications of bronchoscopy include pneumothorax, hemorrhage, and bronchospasm.
  • Contraindications for bronchoscopy include an uncorrectable hypoxemic/hypercapnic state and unstable myocardium..

Endoscopy F

  • Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is used to diagnose and treat conditions in the biliary system, pancreas, and liver by combining endoscopy and fluoroscopy (X-ray).
  • ERCP uses a flexible tube and X-rays.
  • ERCP can be used to treat conditions like gallstones, tumors, sphincterotomy, stone removal, and stent placement.
  • Some preparations for ERCP are fasting for 6-12 hours, avoiding smoking, and taking specific medications, e.g., aspirin, ibuprofen.

Endoscopy G

  • Cystoscopy is used to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra.
  • Indications for cystoscopy include frequent urinary tract infections, hematuria, and unexplained symptoms.
  • Contraindications include active urinary tract infections, severe urethral strictures, prostatitis, and coagulopathies.
  • Cystoscopy procedures may involve biopsy, cystogram, evaluation of obstructions in the genitourinary tract, bladder neck incision, coagulation of hemangiomas, and foreign body removal.

Endoscopy H

  • Procedures to examine the rectum and anus,
  • The procedure uses a short rigid instrument called a proctoscope,
  • Purpose includes detecting rectal diseases/abnormalities (e.g., polyps, cancer) and evaluating rectal bleeding.
  • It may also identify causes of certain types of bleeding, such as abnormal growths or polyps in the rectum/anus.
  • Possible complications after the examination include heavy blood loss and urinary difficulties.
