Study Notes
Endoscopy Exam Notes
- Endoscopy is a procedure used to view and operate on internal organs and vessels.
- It's used for various purposes including investigations, unusual symptom diagnosis, and surgical procedures.
- Endoscopy is not limited to the digestive system.
Types of Endoscopy
- Laparoscopy: Used for abdominal or pelvic investigations.
- Hysteroscopy: Used for uterine investigations.
- Cystoscopy: Used for bladder investigations.
- Gastroscopy (upper GI endoscopy): Used for upper gastrointestinal investigations.
- Colonoscopy: Used for colon investigations.
- Sigmoidoscopy: Used for lower colon investigations.
- ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): Used for pancreatic and bile duct diseases.
- Bronchoscopy: Used for lung investigations.
- Laryngoscopy: Used for larynx investigations
- Arthroscopy: Used for joint investigations.
- Nasopharyngoscopy: Used for nose and pharynx investigations.
- Otoscopy: Used for ear investigations.
Endoscopy Uses
- Diagnosed and treatment of bleeding sources
- Diagnosis and treatment of polyp removal
- Diagnosis of abnormal tissues and inflammatory bowel diseases.
- Examination of specific body areas like the small intestine, organs, and joints.
Endoscopy Advantages
- Less invasive than open surgery.
- Descriptive and photographic documentation.
- Relatively low morbidity and mortality.
Endoscopy Disadvantages
- Only examines surface areas.
- Limited view of detailed internal areas.
- Can't examine all areas with a single procedure.
Capsule Endoscopy
- Latest technique using a small-sized video capsule for examination of the digestive tract.
- Capsule transmits images as it passes through the digestive tract.
- Sensors gather data around the waist.
Endoscopic Ultrasound
- Uses high-frequency sound waves to examine digestive and lung systems.
Narrowband Imaging
- Images internal organs with filtered light for better visualization.
Chromoendoscopy
- Dyes used to aid in identifying any lesions for enhanced diagnosis.
Endoscopy B
- Da Vinci Surgical System offers improved dexterity and better control.
- Reduced hospital stay.
- Less staff needed.
- Lower risk.
- Limitations exist in various endoscopic procedures.
- Endoscopy is used for inflammatory bowel diseases, ulcerative colitis, Crohn’s disease, stomach ulcers, chronic constipation, pancreatitis, gallstones, and tumors.
- Procedures like injections, clips, removal of foreign bodies, dilation of strictures, and stenting commonly assist in treatment.
- Feeding tubes (PEG) and Percutaneous Endoscopic Gastrostomy (PEG) may be required for treatment.
Endoscopy C
- Gastroscopy is a reliable diagnostic tool for identifying issues in the upper digestive tract.
- Gastroscopy is good for detecting inflammation, ulcers, tumors, and other abnormalities.
- Limitations exist in early diagnostic ability.
Endoscopy D
- Anal canal examinations are short segments from the dentate line.
- Procedures use scopes with air insufflation and retroflexion for distal views.
- Terminal ileum examination is typically done with a scope to identify issues.
Endoscopy E
- Bronchoscopy involves inserting a flexible tube through the nose or mouth to reach the airways.
- Bronchoscopy can be used to diagnose lung cancer, foreign objects, and other breathing concerns.
Endoscopy F
- ERCP is a specific procedure for diagnosing and treating conditions of the bile ducts, gallbladder, pancreas, and liver.
- ERCP involves combining endoscopy and X-rays.
Endoscopy G
- Cystoscopy is a procedure used to examine the inside of the bladder and urethra.
- Used for diagnostic x-rays, removing or evaluating obstacles, biopsy, and removing foreign objects.
- Frequent urinary issues, stones, infections, and bladder or urethral abnormalities are common reasons for cystoscopy.
Endoscopy H
- Procedures and reasons are outlined for specific types of endoscopy.
Appendix
- Procedure descriptions of various endoscopy procedures.
